I wondered how long it would be before someone noticed and asked. Interesting story about this seat.

I originally bought a Fizik Arione AG2R team version - the black and white one - from a guy on another forum. The package either got lost or hung up in customs, which sucked as its hard to find a deal on this saddle. New, they are $175.

I kept staring at this Nashbar saddle thinking it had the right look but wondering if it would be any good. When it went on sale for $22, I took a flyer and bought one.

I was surprised. Its actually a nice saddle in terms of perceptible quality. Its a bit thicker in the padding than I am used to but I really like the way it fits. Its stiff enough in the spine and the "wing flex" isn't loose at all.

I'm going to stick with it for awhile. If that Arione ever shows up, I'll move it to another bike.
