now you've done it. i'll have to look at these.
it never ceases to amaze me at how the marketing types manage to read my mind and know EXACTLY what kind of claptrap and BS i am susceptable to as regards ad copy.

I have been riding nothing but bare carbon saddles for about a year, and it's been good - cheap, 110g, stiff, etc. the Merek ones from ebay, if anyone's curious.
truth be told, i'd be interested in something that moved with me a bit - supportive on the sit bones (e.g. not sinking into the saddle) but compliant as my legs move back and forth. and that seems to be the hook of these.
but they're more than double the weight of my saddles and MUCH more expensive.
i might try one out of i can find a shop with a tester this year.

there's four things i can think of that i like about them. in no particular order.
1) they are cheap
2) they are light
3) they are good looking
4) they don't chafe
one thing i don't like is that they are as hard as a brick, but i can do 30-40 miles without too much difficulty.
BTW, if you google something like "fizik kurve" there is a video out there with music only. it runs about 3 (?) minutes. it shows a rear view of the saddle while a man is riding. the body is translucent and the bones are showing. it's kinda creepy.
