I have a basically new Fizik Arione Versus saddle in black that I'd like to trade for a similar condition black Fizik Antares Versus or black Specialized Romin Expert 143. It was used once for 11.5 miles to commute to work, but I like the Antares Versus better (tho willing to try the Romin in 143 mm width too), so it is essentially new. New retail price is $149.99.
Info: It's like the regular Fizik Arione but with an ergonomic recessed center channel for pressure relief. Fizik claims the channel design gives the same pressure relief as a cutout with more even pressure distribution and longer saddle life from the greater structural integrity. It also has the wing flex zones like the regular Arione. Relatively flat profile saddle like the Specialized Toupe, Selle Italia SLR, or Prologo Zero. It also has the Fizik ICS system: Integrated Clip System, where you can clip in their specially designed saddlebag or tail light directly into the back of the saddle. This is useful on aero shaped seatposts that are too big/wrong shape for a strap or bracket to fit around.
Specs: 300 x 132 mm, 239 grams claimed weight, black microtex outer, nylon carbon reinforced shell, K:ium rails (Fizik's steel alloy, claimed 8% lighter than titanium rails)
Please e-mail me back off-list if interested in a trade. Thanks!
