Click on the arrow on the photo...it shows the top view. That's what has me intrigued.

Ahhh-haaaa! Thanks! Now I am intrigued too. Although, my 155 Ruby seems to be serving me well right now (if it ain't broke...).

But it IS a nice-looking saddle.

If we can't tweak the position/angle of my Jett to work for me on my new bike (assuming my "issues" are not entirely related to the shorts/tights combo), then I really want to give this saddle a try (perhaps after trying the Bontrager Inform RL WSD). Our LBS carries Fizik and I know they have test saddles...at least for the men's models. I will have to ask about a women's test saddle. Looks like retail is around $160...more than I want to spend unless I can try it or they have a liberal return policy/guarantee.

That's definitely better than $160. I wish I could find info. re: a fizik return policy/guarantee...their website isn't real helpful.

Nice saddle. Let us know what you think. It looks to have a lower channel in the middle.

I have the Fizik Vesta on my bike- http://www.fizik.it/product.aspx?c=VESTA

While I've been happy with it, it may not be the shape you're looking for. And the Vesta does have a lower channel down the middle.

It does look like it would be too wide and domed for me...but how do you like the channel?

Whoops. Sorry for not replying sooner! I had seen that you had posted a reply but when I came to this thread then it never showed up for me, so I was unable to see what you had posted.

I do like the channel, personally. This saddle has been working for me thus far (I got it over the winter; and I, like many, unfortunately don't ride as much during the winter). The Vesta has a bit of cushioning but it's still definitely a road saddle. Hope you're having better luck in finding something that works.
