If anyone out there has a 155 Specialized Alias or Avatar saddle that they are looking to dump...I am interested. I'm riding a 155 Toupe right now, and while it seemed fine for the first few weeks...suddenly it is NOT so fine. Seriously...the first few rides I did on the Toupe were like "heaven" compared to any other saddle I have recently tried. Then suddenly, this past weekend...I start getting incredible sitbone pain after 30 or so miles. :confused: I'm not sure what's up with that. Especially when I had done 80+ mile rides on it, the previous weekends with absolutely NO complaints.

Anywhoo...if you've got an Alias or Avatar sitting around collecting dust, shoot me PM. Thanks!

Looks like you are up for the test saddle, if interested.

Quite possibly. Would you know if the Ruby is a bit more padded than the Toupe, by any chance? I seem to be okay with the 155 width on the Toupe (I think)...so I'm a teeny bit concerned that moving down to a 143 might cause some new issues...even though I've ridden on 143 saddles before. BUT...I'd certainly be willing to give it a shot. Is the saddle available for a test? Who has it at the moment?
