Can decide on what carbon frame to get for road racing this year, these are my options as I don't want a 'Lance ride one of these too, frames.

The trek comes in a different colour scheme

And before PNuT starts, anyone got any advice about a modern-style lightweight saddle that is also comfortable?

Fizik Arione gets good reviews

Take no notice of him, Roy. The Rolls looks fine.

I know what you mean. There is something incongruous about Lightweights with that saddle. But would the 150 or so grams saved by switching to a wafer-seat really have a palpable effect, other than on his backside?

Many of the continental pros still ride the Rolls especially six day riders

O'Grady uses a Rolls. I use Flites on all my bikes except one which has a Rolls. When I used it recently I found it really uncomfortable, so either my @rse has changed shape Confused

or Flites are much better (for me).

Anyway, I'd say if you find the saddle you use comfy, stick with it, cos nobody wants a sore @rse!
