+1..I love my Romin. The first saddle free of numbness and pain save for a Brooks Professional. I love the brooks but the Romin seems better for me on the long runs. The saddles that did not work for me- Fiziik Arione. Pain and numbness within 50 miles. 500 miles on it just caused more pain and numbness no matter the adjustments. Fiziik Antares- same. Sella- same. Brooks swallow- good for the first 2000 miles, then it just streatched way out and was ruined. These are just opinions-everyone is different and a lot of trial and error and 40 years of experimenting went into the above observations.
