Selle italia SLR flow v Spesh Romin

matt-h

Hi all,
I have the spesh Romin which is quite nice but not perfect.
I quite fancy the SLR Flow for my other bike.

Has anybody tried both and able to tell me differences they found?
Tempted to just buy a used SLR and if its nice get the Carbonio new

I had a Romin Evo Comp and felt it was near perfect but had an itching to try the SLR Superflow (not sure how different to the SLR flow), I bought one in the end and am happy, the flatter profile of the Selle suited me better by reducing the last amount of pressure when in the drops.

Funnily enough I put the Romin on the MTB where I'm in a more upright position and there its perfect.

I had the exact opposite experience to Eddie, which just goes to show how personal saddle choice is.

I found my SLR Super Flo to be a little too flat and lacking in give, which resulted in numb bum. When I went back to a Romin again it felt like coming home.

It could be worth trying another type if Romin (they do feel quite different) or a Toupe, maybe?
