It's not that it's uncomfortable...Discomfort doesn't bother me...I expect a certain amount consistent with the activity...What I'm feeling here based upon my initial impressions is that the saddle is simply too narrow because my sit bones feel that they are on the outside downward slopes of the saddle...I've also read about inner thigh chaffing, high up, that others have experienced with the Selle Italia designs and I'm showing the beginnings of that as well...
So, I'm really interested in the Fizik as of now simply because the Selles are all quite similar in terms of that sloping.
For $200.00 I oughta get this right...
