I have an Ambrosio alu/carbon, now about £700 I'm told, which I'm very happy with.

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!
