Price Paid:  $170.00 at Flying Ball, Hong Ko

Favorite Ride:
any road there is

Bike Setup:
2007 Trek 2100 (I upgraded all the components from the stock parts)

Summary:
I decided to buy a much more decent saddle after my previous one snapped in half. I tested several saddles, such as Fizik's Arione, Aliante and Antares, and Selle Italia's Flite, SLK, and SLC. But the saddle I found most compatible to my rear is this SLR. I was supposed to buy the one with Titanium rails, since I find it more reassuring than carbon, but what the heck, the shop owner offered me the Fibra at the same price. All said and done, this saddle has proven its bang for the buck. Although very slim and hard, this saddle will feel quite comfy, absorbing much road vibrations, and its pretty darn aero, although it's not exactly for everyone. It's very light at 135 grams, and it makes your bike look fast. You MUST try it before you buy it. If it doesn't fit you, it hurts. Period.

Strengths:
Comfort (if it fits you)
Vibration Absorption
Aerodynamics
Looks
Weight

Weaknesses:
Price (but it's worth it)
Fore-aft adjustment is minimal
