Looking for a new saddle	Can't Post

Shopping for a new saddle,the one that came stock on my P2C is not working for me. Looking at the specialized tri-tip 50mm. I will be doing sprints as well as 70.3 races. I generally like to ride on the nose so I need some comfort.
Ready to hear what you ride, thanks.

San Marco Era K. Ultra comfy once you figure out the proper saddle angle.

I rode the Adamo for a while, it was too wide for me. :(

I've stuck with the SLR T-1. It is much more comfy than your stock saddle. I've been on it for 2.5 years now.

I have always ridden the fizik tri saddle and before that I was on the selle italia tri saddle. Now I have the Adamo race saddle and will never go back to another saddle. It has a lot of different positions you can sit on it as well. The main thing is how well it protects the man parts. I am still young and don't want to risk anything yet.

Ride a banana seat if your looking for comfort if your looking for speed take the seat of to save weight like I do. comfort is way over rated

Adamo. I went through $400 worth of saddles before I got to the Adamo. I wish I hadn't waited so long. It's a wonderful saddle if you care about your bits and pieces. My sit bones get a bit sore on long rides. It's a small price to pay, however, for being able to ride steep and low and still be able to count myself among the members of the male gender after a long ride.

the adamo is weird but it seems to work for some folks.

Try the slr and the Arione
