I'm finally checking back in with the results of my saddle search. I did get a Fizik Vitesse HP and rode it for a couple hundred miles. While it was light years better than the Aliante I had been riding, it was not the perfect saddle for me. The search continued. (Watch for a Vitesse to show up on the "For Sale/Wanted" thread.)
When I finally decided to try the Aspide Glamour, it was on backorder. It showed up two days before the Bridge to Bridge century ride, which I planned to do, so the dilemma was whether to change it and ride with no real test time or wait until after the big day. I put the bike on the trainer and swapped saddles on Friday night (the ride was Sunday.) In the amount of time I spent on the trainer, it already felt better than the Vitesse did in that same amount of time. I decided to do what you're never supposed to do and I rode Sunday with the new saddle.
I spent 7-1/2 hours in the saddle and was SO GLAD I made the change. I had plenty of complaints during the ride but my saddle was not one of them.![]()
Two thumbs up for the Aspide Glamour!
