Concor Light....

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

Concor Light....

As cabin fever has officially set in, its upgrade week at my house!! Just bought a concor light and got it all set up. Its kind of reminds me of an old stingray banana seat. Ive yet to actually test ride it though as the weather is fairly crappy. Any thoughts if own one of these? It definitely looks sweet and its #$%^ light. 190 grams...

^^^well its definitely not flat. i guess you have to set it up so the nose and back of the seat are level with each other. we'll see how it goes. the bike shop said i can bring it back as long as i dont wipe out and mess it up. it looks the part though. definitely feel more like a pro-seur now.

I've got an old one and it was not comfortable. The Paramount is stuck with it at the moment.

Glad to hear you like it. With 25 years of sitting on Turbos and a Concor Light, I thought of myself as a hammock saddle guy, myself. Then I thought I'd give a Fizik Arione a try, and, well, it was a paradigm shift. But if you're going to use a hammock saddle, the Concor, the original, is the one to use.
