Hi all.
The Centaur spec'd Ribble is ordered - but the saddle I ordered being a Selle Italia C2 gelflow in Red is no longer available. Ribble are going to supply the standard Alloy Transam Saddle for now that comes in with the price, as I said I would source my own, as they have no alternatives
.I could order the gelflow for about £50 from somewhere else no probs, but before I do I thought I'd just ask you guys for any suggestions or views? Am happy to spend up to about £100 max, but it has to be RED in colour! I know nobody will see it with my fat backside on it, but I'll probably spend as much time looking at it in the garage, as riding it when it turns up! Also is the cut away in the middle of some saddles a gimic or not? :?
Cheers in advance.

I know this is probably not the answer you wanted - but you really shouldn't be choosing a saddle based on its colour....0

I know! But surely there's enough RED saddles to choose from? It has to be in keeping with the colour scheme doesn't it? Black saddles are so .......urm.....dull."I spend my petrol money on Bikes, Beer, Pizza, and Donuts "

How about one like mine?
My bike has a black with a hint of red and white colour scheme. The saddle, I find, very comfy indeed (I have Fizik Aliantes on both my road bikes)...0 -
The prologo range is becoming popliar too -

Further to what Reddragon suggests, some shops do a full range of demo saddles in the Selle Italia range...
I got lucky buying the Aliante as I found it very comfortable however, and I say this a lot, one man's pillow is another man's ass hatchet. It's worth trying a saddle out first.0
