Thanks. I did the Brooks B-17 for three years. It was comfy enough but I still had some issues with it, despite much adjustment. It now resides on our permanent trainer.
I considered the Arione but like the cutouts of the Specialized products. I've not had any problems with numbness just feel like the Avatar is getting harder as the gel flattens. Definately feel it after 40 miles today.
So was thinking of the Alias as an upgrade to the Avatar.
