Only just managed to test out my saddle.

Popped out on a short 20 mile ride last night. I had to stop half way up the street and raise my seat slightly, I assume this was just because the Arionne Donna is a little flatter than the vitesse.

First impressions is that it is far more comfortable around the nose as it it less bulky and has a small channel down the middle. It is also noticably lighter than my vitesse

It was really quite comfortable, if a little firm, but it's probably too soon to sing its praises. I'll try for a longer ride on Saturday and see how it goes.

Despite being worried about the flowers, I have to say it looks really smart on my bike. I know aesthetics aren't the most important things when it comes down to a saddle but this seat actually looks like it belongs on my bike rather than an ugly blemish

I think my vitesse was an old model which I only brought as it was the only one my LBS had, and I was desperate to try it out my new bike when I picked it up. I didn't want to brave the mens Fizik Pave that came with it

Fingers crossed for future rides. How is everyone else getting on?
