Yup... I hate having stuff lying around that I'm not using. I've heard great things about the Arione, which is why I bought it in the first place. But a week or so after buying mine, a friend told me he had an extra one and suggested that I try his, so that if I didn't like it, I could keep mine brand new (and returnable). I liked the Arione but still preferred my Fizik Vitesse, which is what I was using at the time. I returned his saddle, and my Arione has been sitting in its box ever since.

Right now I'm using a WTB Rocket V Pro Gel and I love it! And the Vitesse is currently my back-up. But I like the WTB so much that I'd like to buy an extra one just like it, which another reason why I'd like to sell the Arione. You know how it is... you fall in love with a saddle and then the manufacturer changes the design or eliminates it all together!

My LBS (as with most bike shops here) will give a store credit, but not a refund, if you return an item. It's been >30 days (more like 60, I think!) and I can't seem to find the receipt anyway, so returning it is not an option.

I've had a couple of inquiries about the saddle but no offers. I get the feeling that people assume that it's not really new, which is unfortunate. I guess I'll give it a week or so and e-mail people pics when they ask for them, but if it doesn't sell, I may end up giving it to someone local or putting it on eBay.

Thanks for the advice, though! If you decide to get a back-up for your regular bike, let me know.
