I really love Fizik

Ridden for quite a few years now and have always struggled to find a saddle that worked well for me, that was until I discovered the Selle SMP range.
SMPs pretty much all share the same anatomical fit design philosophy but they are designed in different families each with their own specific width.
I have sat on a few SMP saddles and I was able to tell the saddles from different width families apart quite easily. The 135mm wide saddle family that include the Forma, Dynamic, Drakon and Lite 209 all fit me nicely, however when I sat on the wider 153mm Pro saddle I was extremely uncomfortable very quickly.
Basically the bigger fatted padded saddle ( the Pro ) was nowhere near as comfortable as the lightweight non padded Forma saddle. This shows saddle comfort is all about shape and width rather than plentifull padding. I am now using a Forma on my road bike and a Drakon on my mountain bikes.
If you are really bored ( I mean really really bored!! ) and into the whole saddle fitting tech then check this link out.

Nice choice, make sure to never pick it up by the seat when the post isn't fully extended and you should get lots of life out of the seals.

New Nicolai Ion 16 ( 650b version ) arrived into the UK, frustratingly on the same day I travelled to work offshore !!!
Always good to get home after working away for a few weeks but really looking forward to it this time and getting the bike built up and ready for the annual trip to the Alps to give it a good work over.

Lovely frame, and I only hear good things about the db air. Enjoy!

Thanks Daniel, I will post up some build pics and hopefully some nice pics from the Alps.
The weather in the French Alps this summer has reportedly been mixed at best so I am hoping for a dry week.
I have had Nicolais before, looking forward to getting back on one again.

Had an embarrassing fall tonight was at a red light in a track stand started to lean and couldn't get my feet out of the Hold Fast straps. Fell in slow motion. Luckily I was able to provide comic relief to to the cars behind me. Got up rode away unscathed with nothing more then a bloody knee, torn up palm and a bruised ego.
