Hey Guys,
I'm back with an update since my Jan. '15 post. I have now put an additional 400 miles on the saddle and I could not be happier. I have played around a tiny bit with raising and lowering the nose (a millimeter at a time) and have that locked in pretty well. I got used to the nose being higher but as it started to stretch a bit, I started tilting it down a bit and I'm now very happy. I was also feeling a bit more pressure on my left cheek during a ride and so I move the entire saddle a couple of millimeters to the left as recommended by SA. That seemed counter-intuitive to me but it has worked. They suggested it was from a bit of a leg discrepancy and it makes sense to me.

Bottom line, this saddle is just the BEST I have ever used in almost forty years of riding. For the sake of science I'll probably try one of the Rivet saddles someday, but for now I have found butt nirvana. It has extended my riding distances and my overall enjoyment of riding in a huge way.

By the way; I'm 5'5" and 134lbs. I bought the T Series and spec'd chrome rails instead of black. It doesn't look anywhere near as heavy and clunky as I thought it would...or maybe I'm just getting use to it. I don't notice the weight at all on my Look 585, but I am looking forward to seeing the carbon prototype SA is working on. However, I hear it is going to be very pricey.
