New to this posting but love the riding.
I live in Perth and ride my Giant Aero 200km per week. I do always get a sore rear end (mainly below the crown jewells but above the exit area  ) and I am thinking of getting a fiz;it arione. It looks uncomfortable. Can anyone advise.Skull |

Unfortunately, one person's luxury is another's worst nightmare. You'll just have to try a few. See if anyone will let you try before you buy.

Re: New member
I've done a lot of cycle-touring (around North America, Europe and the Middle East), as well as cycle commuting. I swear by a leather saddle. The advantage of leather is it eventually fits you (like a good pair of boots). There is a pretty uncomfortable breaking in period, though! You can still get leather saddles in some decent bike shops. The brand I have is a Brooks.

Very true Arte. I shop regulary at Runners World and they allowed me to try a couple today. Amongst them was the Fiz:it pave...uncomfortable and have settled for something that has cost quite a bit less, a VELO pronto ZTT. Very comfortable on rear end and hip pocket. Thanks for the try before you buy advice they were more than willing.  Skull |

On the weekends I will go for a ride down to the beach then head up north where I meet my transport home (about 50 kms in all), otherwise I have a circuit around the home area which can be depending on which route I take and how I feel, 40-47 kms. And you? |

Re: New member
Nothing regular yet. I moved to Perth only 3 months ago. I generally ride around the swan and into the Applecross area or catch a local ride out of South Perth. They very their rides every week, so thats fun.
Is that you in the picture?. You look like Marco Pantani! Cheers |
