I'd be interested to know what you think of that saddle. I don't like the manufacturer recommend you replace it every year

A couple of teammates have it, and speak highly of it. for $53 bucks shipped, I figured I'd try it. It's flexy and surprisingly comfortable according to them. I'll keep you posted.

Here is my custom built black Cannondale. I know it may not "technically" be a roady, due to the bars/shifters. However it was built very road specific. I started with a Cannondale frame fork (white) that I stripped, repainted, and applied new decals to.

Personally I feel like it's a bit too narrow for my butt, but I'm getting used to it
It's very light for the money, $53/142g
I find myself sliding back on the saddle because there isn't enough support for my sit bones in the front portion of the saddle
Tioga recommends you replace the saddle yearly because the webbing starts to weaken and can break, compromising the structural integrity of the saddle itself.

Oh I see. We don't climb down here so wouldn't know anything about that. Nice bike nonetheless.
