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

Toupe vs Romin: Noses

Question to those of you with Specialized Romin saddles: is the nose wider than that of a comparable (say 143mm) sized Toupe? Thank.

Yes, as the thread says it is wider. I did the same as the OP in that thread. Started with the Toupe that came with my Tarmac, then got the Romin SL. Works very nicely for me.
