If he made a high offer right then and there, I would probably sell it, especially if you do not plan to ride it often.

Velocity deep v stickers; keep 'em or lose 'em?

You didn't even need to ask that. -.-

Keep them.

depends on your style... do you wear "nike's" or "adidas" with your "dickies" or "levi's", if so keep the branding, but if you dont typically wear highly branded clothes, then lose them

I like Velocity's decals on the A23s, Aeroheads and Fusions but for some reason the Deep V decals bug me.

I'm usually pro decals but these being just a red & yellow sticker I wasn't sure... and it doesn't hurt to double check a general consensus. Nonetheless I'm leaning toward taking them off as they seem to take away from the final build IMO.

I'd rather pull off my nutsack and throw it across the room than sit on an Arione.

hmmm... is that preference or general consensus because i thought i read in a thread all about saddles that quite a few people actually liked this saddle, could be wrong tho my memory is ****.

No, you've heard right. The Arione is comfortably to a lot of people, and uncomfortable to a lot of people.

And it is true for every saddle. Everyone's butt is different.

I will tell you that the Arione will likely fit you better if you are more thinner and more flexible, but this is just a trend. There are always exceptions.

thanks redpear i think ill try it out, i am rather light (155lbs @ 5'11") so i think it wont be uncomfortable. does anyone by chance know the difference between the two saddles i linked in my previous post? as far as i can tell they have the same name but just different color styles?

It's really hard to tell, but if there is a difference it'll be in rail material.

I should note that I wasn't referring to weight. By thinner and flexible I meant your sit bones are thinner and you ride more 'tucked.'

I like clean looking wheels, but that is just me.

I loved my Arione, rode on it for two years. Then, I took some time off my bike. When I went back to riding, I just couldn't find a comfortable position on my Arione anymore, ****ing hated it. I switched over to the Toupe and love it.

alright thanks. well only way to know if i like it is to try it lol. i guess ill just have to wait and see.

Arione is nice.

would it be stupid to buy a in good shape, later years spinergy rev X rear wheel with shimano hyperglide hub for my road bike for 100 bucks?

+1

oh and ill plus 1 the arione as well.

I've never had a problem with my Arione from day one. I don't know, it looks uncomfortable and I kinda expected to hate it, but I never think about it once I'm on it, which is high praise for a saddle for me.

Specialized romin here, the only things I have said are good things these last 3 months.

im trying out a phenom i got for cheap with an eye on the romin or evo if it goes well.

Should i put on my 75s on my conversion now or wait 1 week for my frame to come?

Wait.

Nashbar has Sidi Nevada clipless road shoes on sale for $78 shipped. Yes?
