Re: [RBW] Explosive new fashion reveal

My butt definitely takes the extra time/weight and superior comfort every
time.  --I might gain back 45 seconds on my ride with my titanium saddle
rails, but in the grand scheme of things...

Do a back of the envelope calculation on my ass-pain during hours 7-10 and 
ask me again!  :-)

Perfect color match of the frame and saddle!  Just for fun, I did a back of
the envelope calculation to come up with around 45s extra time on your 10
hour ride for that 100g of extra weight.  Worth it? :)

[RBW] Explosive new fashion reveal

[Bill Lindsay]

I'm a big fan of the Fizik Arione saddle.  The shape works for me, and it's 
light, and it comes in tons of colors, so there are tons of them for 
practically free on eBay.  Case in point I just bought one for $30 that I 
think retailed for over $200, in shiny silver.  

I confess that the reason my pink Roadeo is pink was that I stumbled across 
a second-hand Fizik Arione in the black/white/pink color way of the Rapha 
Cycle Club.  I bought it and decided I'd have my forthcoming Roadeo painted 
to match.  

Subsequently, while I waited for my frame to come in, I went crazy on 
weight weenie details, and bought a Fizik Arione 00 in black, and that's 
what went on the build.  The heavier pink Arione went on another bike.  

Now that I've done two brevets on my Roadeo, I'm willing to admit that the 
Arione 00 doesn't feel great past hour seven.  So, I've decided to weigh 
down my build by upgrading comfort and fashion.
