Okay, I have tried several saddles and searched many forums to help find my perfect saddle. I used my husbands carbon rail Aiante on a 100mi ride yesterday and it was great but not yet perfect. It felt great on sit bones, no chaffing, (problems I've had with Brooks, Terry, Selle, and Serfas models) but I did experience numbness where a cut out would be. In researching,the Arione sounds too stiff (I like the curves of the Aliante) I'd read where the Aliante Gamma is softer and feels like a cut out saddle. Has anyone tried it? Does the rest of the Gamma feel like the Aliante carbon? I really like the Aliante, numdness doesn't equal pain, it is just annoying after 50 miles. My husband thinks I should just give his saddle a longer trial period but he is a weight weenie and frets over the gram differences in the Gamma model vs carbon rail model. Can anyone offer opinions? ...Thanks
