I know someone who did it. TT saddles are usually designed to be ridden on the nose. If your position has you running somewhat steep, it could work nicely

I used a Fizik Arione for several years but bought a Cervelo TT bike that came with a Profile Design Elite TT saddle. It has almost the exact same shape as the Fizik Arione but it has a little more padding. I knew on the first ride that this was a better saddle for me. I now have 4 of them on my various bikes (road bike, TT bike, mountain bike and my travel bike). I am now done buying saddles. https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=16449
I bought 3 of them on Ebay for < $30

Right now, I'm specifically looking at the fizik tri-2 right now. it is the same overal shape as my arione. the arione doesn't cause me any discomfort, I am just curious because it seems to be more "supple" in the padding. It isn't much of a different to the touch but there is a difference. sometimes I feel as if my arione can take 5-10 miles to get comfy and the thought of the tri-2 being just smidge more padding has my mind thinking if it would be anymore comfortable???
