It was packaged up with a note of explanation with words to the effect of it could turn your bottom a lovely shade of "Audax Blue" after a couple of k's. Must check if it's still in the shop.... Does that mean you end up with a 'hard-arse' to match those nuggety/never-say- stop older Audaxers who throw caution to the wind and dont even have ANY carbon fibre, Ti or ANYTHING!!! (its true. i swear. i dont know how they manage to ride at all ... ) -- |

Why should the Gents have all the fun/pain, as far as I'm concerned there's not enough Codgerettes on bikes! -- |

Originally posted by Nickzx6r My Arione has done about 300kms now. Fizik reckon it takes 100km to wear in. I reckon that's about right. These Arione are getting a lot of press... what's the hype? Are they somehow vastly different from a lot of other saddles? Regarding the Brooks.. yeah I realise they take ages to break in, but this was on a track bike.. couple of thousand kays on the track in pain??? No thanks! It's still for sale hippy -- Sorry for the late reply. I missed this thread earlier. If you believe the hype, the 'gills' in the side make the Arione deform within the first 100kms or so, theoretically to the shape your body, thus making it a tailored fit. Oh..and they're 30cm long, which is apparently 6cm or something longer than a normal saddle and that's really good because...blah...blah...trail_off_slowly....... I'll be totally honest and say that I got it because: - it's new and flashy - the hype is somewhat plausible - it looks really cool on the all-black bike - I got it on eBay for $150 - $10 cheaper than the Selle Italia I was considering. -- Nick |

Never had any trouble with saddles until the few years (I'm 57 now) and after re trying all my favourites ended up buy a Rolls and it has been great. Looks a pretty ordinary shape but very comfortable from the day I bought it Regards Bruce http://www.bcl.id.au |
