my arione donna for your vitesse?

On two of my bikes, I have Fizik Vitesse saddles and have very few comfort issues. For my new bike, I thought I would get fancy and get a Fizik Arione Donna. Well...it was a bad idea. I rode it last night for the first time and it was not a good fit. It has been on the bike for less than a day, less than 20 miles on the trainer and is a beautiful design (It's the black one with the black on white honeycomb and floral pattern, subtle and awesome) but I will go back to old faithful and get another Vitesse. If anyone would like to swap, please contact me.
Cheers,
julie

I'm not interested in the Donna (already have one) but I have a very lightly used Vitesse that I'd sell for $35 plus shipping if you're interested.

thanks for the offer. I just picked up a Vitesse on craigslist tonight for 40$, now, just need to find a good home for the Arione Donna.
any takers? reasonable offers? shipping from Canada.

thanks,
julie

Just in case that helps anyone decide. :)

They are similar...and I'd hoped that the channel on the Donna would be better than a cut-out, but it ended up being the most uncomfortable saddle I've been on. I think it was just too narrow for me, so I ended up scooted a bit off to one side and riding on the edge of one of the channel walls. :eek::(

just sold the saddle. wishing everyone happy saddle-perineum interfaces ;)
i think from now on, i'll stop trying to get fancy/lighter/more tech and stick with what works. lesson learned. :)
