another ISM Adamo fan

[Suechoccy]

Hi girls,
A couple of months ago I posted about my saddle woes, coming back to timetrialling (UK) after 20 years out, coping with the new aero tribar position and finding great pains of varying sorts (numbness, soreness, chafing, bruising) with a variety of saddles ... Fizik Rondine, WTB Rocket, Specialised Jett, Selle Italia Turbo..

A few people on here and on UK tt forum suggested trying the ISM Adamo. I found a UK place which does a free week's trial (trybike.co.uk based in Worcestershire).

The trial saddle took me round a 25 mile dual carriageway event and a 13 mile exposed fenland event with comfort. So I confidently ordered an Adamo Race (in bright pink too) and its very first outing (bit risky but hey ho..) was a 50 mile dual carriageway event last Saturday.

ABSOLUTELY COMFY!!!!! My undercarriage could happily have gone on for another 50 miles. Not so my legs though.

Huge thanks to Jon at Trybikes for loaning one out to me!!

Sue (a very happy ISM Adamo-fan who's now comfy enough to enter a 100). Woo hoo!!

Thanks for the info. I see these alot at tri's and my tri shop guy told me he has never had one returned. Can I ask how you felt with the two "pieces" in front. Are they wide or fit well? I have heard the one adjustment is some people tie these two pieces closer together to avoid chafing.
