selle Italia SLR
"Matt O'Toole" wrote in message ... "onefred" wrote in message ... ..., but I wanted to ear some impressions about the Selle Italia SLR. Is it less confortable than a Flite Gelflow due to the smaller/lighter design? And what about the Flite TT? The SLR is much more comfortable than any Flite. It's a much improved design, IMO. If you ride the Flite long enough, it will become tolerable, but I found that the SLR was immediately comfortable for both long and short hauls. Lightweight comfort -- selle Italia really got it right with this one. Which one is the SLR, and how is it different from a plain-old Flite? The slr is this one: http://tinyurl.com/nuaq The difference... except the design I don't know because I didn't tried one... maybe soon! :-) The San Marco Aspide seems to be in the same category. Now the question that remains is: trans-am or not? |

Saddles seem to be a lot like shoes though--we each have our unique fit. Mark |

The SLR is light, and I can tolerate it for 2 or 3 hours, but now use it only for the rare occasions I enter a hillclimb race. Dave Lehnen |
