Ultegra SL
FSA SL-K Light Carbon Crankset

Easton Ascent II wheels Summary:
Simply put, this has become my favorite saddle. For me at least, it has the perfect size/shape/padding/flex combination. I've tried more expensive saddles, including the Arione and the SLR Gel Flow, and both resulted in major discomfort (and pain!) after just a few short miles. I can spend hours on the Shadow V without ever thinking about it being there, which is the best compliment I can give to any saddle! Strengths:
Lightweight, comfortable and inexpensive (compared to others). Weaknesses:
None. Similar Products Used:
Fizik Arione, SI SLR Gel Flow

I love this saddle. very comfortable for me. I have ridden centurys and regularly race with it. The wierd thing is, my bike came with a Fizik Aliante. I HATED it and sold it on Ebay. I do have three teammates that ride the Shadow V and love it.
I just bought two more for my mountain bike and tandem. Strengths:
Light and comfortable Weaknesses:

at e-bay Favorite Ride:
any Bike Setup:
1.CAAD8 with Ultegra-DuraAce mix,
2. Columbus steel Fausto Coppi with Ultegra(Campy soon, I hope)
3.Steel Mongoose cyclocross-touring 105-Deore mix Summary:
Purchased it as per friend's recommendation. Nice looking saddle and very light. Too narrow, making it intolerable after 3 hours in a saddle. Padding does not work. I start feeling every bump after 1 hour ride. It it was a little wider in the rear it would me more comfortable. It is 130 mm wide. I am used to Flite(140mm wide) and that difference could be felt on longer rides. Wish it could be a little wider in the rear and slightly longer. I will be trying San Marco Concor light next. WTB will go on e-bay, not a keeper. Strengths:
Very light with the amount of padding on it. Racers that like narrow, light and soft saddles will like it. Good looking. Weaknesses:
Not comfortable for long rides. Too narrow(for me). Too expensive new($100.) Similar Products Used:
Sella Italia Flite, Pro link, Ritchey Logic(very comfy up to 3 hours)
