Lol..how coincidental. I just recieved mine in black earlier yesterday afternoon. I read reviews that praised this saddle so I took a leap of faith and faith bounced off the rim. Gawd this seat was horrible, I didnt even last 'til the end of the block before turning around and coming back to put on my old saddle.
Like folks say, different seats suit different types so I sincerely hope yours works out great for you.
I have a WTB Pure that I'm gonna replace it with and give a test ride on the 'morrow.
such a shame, a great looking saddle and it got so many great reviews about the interwebz..
btw: 6'4", 240LBS, regular size a$$ I presume..
I have a selle an-atomica clydesdale on my fixed w/ risers and man, that saddle is perfection. If only the LBS had another one, they were sold out thus I decided to give the selleitalia a shot.

I know I've read some people like it some don't. The wait is killing me 5-7 business days. I will post pictures when I put it on.

Got the new saddle Friday just before leaving town for the weekend. I put it on today and went out for a 10 miler. Not bad. Better than the stock Masi for sure. Soaks up the bumps good,and sit bones and the boys were comfy. Not sure about the white,but I will be able to locate my bike in a full bicycle rack a block away. I also included a picture of the hoist my wife bought me for the garage to store the bike. You get two of these from Costco for $27.00.

ohh. About the hoist. I was about to get one (or three) for my place since I'm lacking apartment space for my bikes. How do u like the hoist in terms of installation and ease of use?
nice saddle btw. Glad it work out comfy for you.

It sucked for me. Anything over 30miles and my butt began to hurt. Still nothing compares to a Brooks for me

it only took about 30 minutes to install. I like the way it works. No lifting. Pretty easy to do.
