Price Paid:  $225.00 at Local Bike Shop

Favorite Ride:
Vicksburg National Military Park

Bike Setup:
2008 Specialized Roubiax Pro...full Dura Ace...Zipp 404's

Summary:
I bought this saddle to replace my Fizik Arione Tri Saddle. I rode this saddle for years. I bought a new Specialized Roubiax Pro and went with the braided carbon version for a weight savings. I had the same problem with the previous reviewer regarding the thickness of the rails. It was an easy fix for me. We just pulled another Specialized seat post with a more traditional clamp...problem solved! I don't think the new design is cause for a one-star rating...buy a new seat post!!

Strengths:
Weight savings over the original Arione...looks good...feels good!!

Weaknesses:
NONE!!

Bike Setup:
Scott Addict R#

Summary:
I purchased this to replace my fizik arione with TI rails. I have used both the TI rail and older carbon rail versions successfully and found them to be the best saddles I have tried. Unfortunately the new braided rails are thicker and do not fit into standard seat post clamps. So I had to return it. I do not know if this was a mfg flaw or a design flaw.

Strengths:
Comfortable

Weaknesses:
Does not fit into a standard seat post clamp.
