Yeah full 9070 group with DA pedals is nice. Everything is reliable, shifts amazing, and is not terribly heavy. Going to get a pioneer upgrade kit for power in a couple months though, because having power is pretty useful.

Thanks. It is Illusion Blue Berg by Prismatic PowdersIt's got a heavy metal flake and reflects a lot of light. Sometimes just after sunset it reflects so much ambient light that it seems to glow. The best part is that it cost only $140. 
Speed G+ were literally just put on before the pictures. I haven't even sat on the bike with these tires and can't wait to actually ride them.

I actually really really like the power saddle, but the Antares is white... I have a friend who works at a specialized shop help me order a white power saddle, but it's backordered, so I'm waiting for that

The power saddles in white(had to edit cause typing wh*t* p*w*r felt weird) look really sharp. I just switched over to a power saddle(the pro) and already reaping the benefits. Amazing perch.

I made a post on a Facebook group asking for a power saddle in white and didn't even think about that, and got roasted pretty hard :/

Flite ti is too narrow for my sitbones, all my weight is on my pereneum and it's all bad.

a specialized saddle on a cannondale does way more damage.

Same, but #whitebutt
I do have a Flite Flow Ti with the cutout in the middle and slightly wider profile and I will say it's far more comfortable.

Since we're talking classic Flite saddles, can anyone tell me they how compare to a Concor?

Yeah, hard to believe but Concor originated in late '70s. I have a somewhat older Concor Light that has very similar shape to my daily rider Flite 1990 reissue just a little more "domed", and it doesn't weigh much more either.
Well, as long as I'm already here...

There was an alloy-railed Concor Superleggera that was ~230g so similar to the Flite.
The original Concor and the current re-issue (Supercorsa?) are MUCH more rounded/saddle shaped than the Flite. The Concor Lite is also pretty round.

My wife isn't currently using her pink and black Concor Light and I'm pretty sure I need to build my cross bike around it. It's so comfy.

Still kicking.
