It amazes me they already picked a new color after having it be out for like 2 months.

Are they changing anything else (you don't have to answer Scrod)?

Today I overdid it at my after work bar and 1.) missed my bike film fest volunteer meeting and 2.) had to call my husband to pick me up.

Shameful.

They didn't. It's not like the 2012 model is coming out on January 1st. Do you really think bike companies don't plan ahead?

Won't let me upload that large of a file. Try this link. I believe you can download the the file directly from my picasa.

Today I tried the Specialized Romin saddle:

Anybody want to buy a Fizik Antares?

Only if it's autographed.

I was suggested I try the Antares, but I do love my SLR... Can you compare/contrast the two?

Leukybear 11-02-11 12:28 AM

You're usually not up this late Alex.

Today I finally got my new keyboard in the mail; mechanical switch goodness; clickyness that is driving my wife crazy.

jimmytango 11-02-11 02:38 AM

Anteres, cuántos?

yummygooey 11-02-11 08:20 AM

The Romin is on my list of saddles to try. That and the Selle Italia SLC. Both are pricey, though.

I heard the next Vigorelli will be **** brown. I wouldn't want people to think Leader is ripping off Cinelli.

I like the Antares over the Arione because it's wider for my wider sit-bones. The Antares is wide, flat, and straight from the middle of the saddle to the front. It's nice, but in a deep drop or time trial (aerobar) position I find that I scoot my perineum to one side for comfort, which moves my hip angle and ultimately my legs.

...then I tried the Romin. The Romin is also wide. When I ride it in a deep drop or TT position, I can feel the pressure solidly on my sit bones and not on my perineum. Plus it comes up vertically at the front, so when I'm pulling hard on the bars, my crotch sort of has an anchor and I don't slide off the nose. For the same effect using the Antares, I'd have to tilt the saddle up, which makes the perineum pressure worse.

So, if I weren't riding in a deep drop or TT position, the Antares would be fine. But, now that I've drastically changed my riding position, the Romin is more appropriate.

The saddle is in good condition with some minor scuffs on both sides from leaning the bike against walls.

PM me with a fair offer if you are interested.

The base model Romin with cro-moly rails is $90. It has gel in the cover. Not sure how well that works or not. The test saddle I have doesn't have gel.
