It arrived this morning! 11 different saddles to try out over the next week. They come packed in a suitcase. i think it's going to be an interesting vacation.

Here's a link with the saddles. http://www.competitivecyclist.com/ro...es/demo-saddle
We've both gotten a little tired of our Brooks and want something different. I'd like to get my bike a little lighter for the very hilly tri I'm doing in May - 6,000 feet of climbing in 56 miles.

I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on the Selle Italia Prolink Light Gel Flow...which I'm pretty sure is part of that kit. Please let me know what you think of it, when you get a chance to try it out. Thanks!

It's made the initial cut for both of us. Originally Posted by nscrbug

I rode it for thirty minutes in the trainer today. I don't love it. I wanted to start wiggling around at the 30 minute mark. I'm use to a rather slippery saddle so when I tried to move, I didn't. Originally Posted by nscrbug

Hmmm, interesting....thanks for the feedback. I'm still sitting on the fence about ordering it. Nashbar has it for $119.99 plus an additional 20% off thru tomorrow...that brings the price down to $95...which is almost too good to pass up. I suppose if it didn't work out for me, I could always post it in the classifieds on TE or other cycling sites...I'm sure somebody out there would snap it up. The two things you mentioned - the longer nose and non-slip saddle surface are actually things that I'm looking for, so maybe this saddle will be "the one" for me. My current saddle has a fairly long nose, so I don't think that will be an issue for me. And I like the feeling of being secure on the saddle...sliding around is something that I don't like - infact, I returned a pair of Pearl Izumi Amfib tights, because the material on the backside was so slippery on my saddle...I just couldn't stand it.
