Re: Road saddle: Fizik Aliante

I've got the lesser priced Gamma version, tried it on a few rides and so far
its not quite living up to the great reviews in terms of comfort. It frankly
starts to get a bit painful after 2 hours or so but not numb. But I'm at
200lb now and should be 185lb (lots of rain in California) so perhaps I'll
get used to it and lose the weight. Might be a great seat for a lighter
rider.

anyone ride a Fizik Aliante Carbon rail saddle? My Tri-Matic Selle
saddle totally sucks after going on a short 20 mile(sometimes bumpy)
ride today. The Fizik has some good reviews so just wanted to see if
anyone here rides it. Thanks.
