Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think I'll have to try that saddle out? How much does one of those run.

it's definitely a nice looking saddle... Not sure if it'd be any more comfortable than the Arione (which still hurts my butt). They appear to be $160 on nashbar

It's also fairly new, I do believe... Plus the price is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Hence, it's probably not a big seller. Looks like a nice saddle, though. If it was about $30-40 cheaper I'd consider it.

Someone please explain how that little bit of carbon on the rails makes a difference.

Makes a huge difference to me. As in, I would never buy a saddle w/carbon rails - confidence issue.

my friend broke his carbon railed Aliante. Make sure the saddle has a warrantee cause he got a replacement for free rather than paying $200 to get a new one
