    Thanks for reply. My LBS told me the toupe was the race saddle that's why I got the romin, doh! It is too firm and the whole doesn't seem long enough to me? Does anyone know of a wide saddle with big cut out? Thanks
    An Adamo ISM saddle such as the Attack is pretty much guaranteed to solve any numbness issues. I've never read a comment from someone who's tried one and still experienced numbness. However some people don't find them comfortable. I think most do if they give them time. They require several rides and 2 to 3 weeks for you to adapt since they support you differently to a conventional saddle. I find the Attack incredibly comfortable, although it was horrible for the first 3 weeks. They're expensive so get a test saddle and give it a proper trial before deciding. You'll almost certainly find it uncomfortable for the first few rides.

    Hiya

    I ve a 144mm Specialized Toupe Expert (which I swapped from bianchimoon) and would like to swap it for a 155mm

    just FYI - I'm also selling a Brooks Cambium in the classifieds, I need to swap this one to replace it.

    I'm after a Selle SMP saddle for outright purchase. Open to various models, but I have my eye on the Glider, Drakon, Pro, and Dynamic. I stlll haven't recovered full feeling in my erm, member, from yesterday's Dragon Ride. Time to do something to prevent it from happening again.

    I've got a Bontrager Serano RL with Ti rails; 148mm width, as new (£50 posted)
    Specialized Toupe 143mm with Cro-Mo rails; 143mm width, used (£25 posted)

    Or I'd consider swaps for a Fizik Aliante, preferably with carbon rails, in black, non-versus version.

    I have a Planet X Ultra Saddle Carbon Rail Black. Only had it a month or so, so it's in really good condition. Only one slight scuff to the plastic lip. Will provide photos later.

    Want to swap for something in the same weight region but with a cut out as this one is making my nuts go numb.

  • I have got 5 saddles up for grabs...http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40091&t=13027269

    2 x Fizik Antares Vs (1 white, 1 black)

    1 x Charge Spoon (Black)

    Pics here https://flic.kr/s/aHsjXQLqxe

    Not necessarily looking for anything to swap as I've settled on a perch of choice, but thought I'd offer them up here in case anyone was looking.
    Hi,

    Do you still have the spoon for sale? If so how much posted would you sell it for?

    Regards

    Sorry Mick - the only one left for sale is the white Fizik Antares Vs.

    The spoon is now on a complete bike I am looking to sell, so reluctant to split.

    I have two Specialized Romins available.
    1. White 143mm ROmin Expert - its a couple of years old but no tears or discernible scuffs. NOt quite as white as new but should clean up ok.

    2. Black 143mm Romin Evo - this one is only a year or so old and is in very good condition.

    Both great saddles but unfortunately aggravate a recurrent saddle sore I have.

    I have now switched to a FIzik Arione and am looking for another black one to go on my winter bike.

    I have a Fizik Aliante Versus X carbon braided with Kium rails. 140mm width. Can supply photos if needed. It's only been riden on two short dry rides. It's basically brand new. I just can't get on with it at all.

    I'm looking to swap it for a Romin Evo Expert Saddle 143mm width.

    Cheers

    I have:

    Selle SMP Forma - a bit of wear but nothing bad at all. Leather is all in good nick, no rips etc.
    Selle Italia SLA Flow - like new, including box. Ridden for 500km tops - enough to know it's not for me.
    Charge Knife (Ti rails) - well used with a small tear from a spill but lots and lots of life left.

    Photos here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/2qfkgpgkho4fckz/AAAnEItbvjWBvJZcsfXy0bvua

    Looking for:

    Ronin Pro or Evo Pro (not sure my size so will consider either. Any pointers to figure it out?)
    Astute any of them
    Selle SMP Dynamic

    Swaps or sale. Note: I'm in Germany now but happy to contribute to postage.

    looking for a selle italia hell or similar but need it fairly soon as I'm booked on the london to brighton on the 26th so have been riding longer training rides and have found I'm in agony with all the saddles i currently own and have trouble urinating after 50+ mile rides!! its been suggested one of these saddles could help me but I'm loathed to spend a fortune to find its off in the drawer with the ones i currently have.
    Im happy to buy or swap, i have a few saddles all ridden once, fizik, wtb volt, specialized and charge plus probably some others, if your interested let me know what you want and i'll see what i have

    Hi all,

    Looking to off load my Adamo Prologue. It just doesn't suit me. I've given it a year on the TT bike but it is beyond painful.

    Looking for a specialized sitero or something similar for TT'ing
