Hey, when LoP and RW are both absent at the same time, should we assume they're busy doing the nasty?

my ladies bike had a 80mm stem and it was clearly much more twitchy than my own bike.

Oops, there she is. My bad!
Well, nevermind, time to move on.

The Terry saddle wasn't working for me so I'm thinking of switching to the Fizik Arione Tri 2 we've got in the shop. Which is funny because nearly everyone who comes into the shop wants a softer wider saddle. Not sure I could cope with the legend of a Brooks even if I could afford one and it wouldn't look dumb on my 820.
So far I have changed the wheels, tires (twice), bars, stem, and seat (three times) on this bike. Probably barely recognizes itself.

Saddles are tough to get right, and to top it off what works this season may not next season. I had a hard time but am fairly comfortable now. But I cant remeber what the damn thing is either

i like fizik arione. i would never go out and buy an expensive saaddle like that but this one came with the frame as a freebie. eventually when it dies i might actually buy one.

before i bought the 90mm stem for my bike, i did swap the 80mm stem for my 110mm stem and rode both bikes with the swapped stems. the ladies bike with 110 rather than original 80 was very much more stable.

my first bike from the early 90s came with an old fashioned saddle like how the regal is shaped. it was absolutely comfy and lovely. i might buy a regal next time.
