Nice eh? I have black tape on mine,and I changed my wheels for a set of Mavic Cosmic.Like the saddle,I got an Aliante which has red trims,yours is the only other Ive seen.Looks really good I hope you enjoy the rides.What do we do for winter though?All that lovely Ultegra getting filthy,buy something that doesn't matter I say,like a Pinarello!
What happened with the saddle was this.I never used the Giant saddle,I put a Fizik Antares on from the outset,gradually it seemed to become uncomfortable,so I bought an Aliante Vs-even worse!I couldn't sit comfortably at all,the channel being the main problem-agony!Im small and so is the bike and with the saddle fairliy forward,I couldn't maintain a stable position.Took it back to my LBS who are excellent and swapped it for a standard Aliante which Im happy to say is superb.I know what you mean about riding in the rain though,I stood at Gretna today thinking "glad Im not on the bike" as the heavens opened.Don't have the pleasure of a winter bike although if it's hammering down I stay in bed..I'll be upgrading the wheels after the winter to Fulcrum Racing 5's..I did get the shop to upgrade the brakes to Ultegra as well.
I'm finding the saddle ok coped with a 100 mile ride ..did you not get on with yours?
Just picked this up today, fella who had it fell ill before riding it and said I could have it for the cost of a meal at a top class restaurant
PuuuurrrrrrtttttyyyyyyyNew wheels
