Hey I agree completely. I don't have all that many due to not being able to find them or afford them at the time. Plus black is next to impossible to find now. There are a few red left from time to time.
My problem is wasting money if I don't like the change. Saddles are so personal. The Novus was ahead of its time and to be honest the rest are just catching up. It has a channel; it has passive suspension; it has carbon rails (some are vanadium it had both); and the saddles I've tried on other bikes of mine all failed miserably.
I read all the raves on Fitzik and they are interesting but in essense very similar in size, shape and weight to my Novus. I continue to look and when I don't have a Novus I'll worry about it then.
The Flite is an older model from Selle Italia than the Novus. It actually is a quite old design. However it has been a huge success and is still in production. As I said the Novus was "weird" for its time and they never really promoted it all that well. It just never caught on big time. I blame them because when all the impotence rage was going on they could have reacted first since it had been out . They blew it.
I built up a new bike when they were still in my one store. I put a Specialized saddle on it. I HATED it so much and it HURT so much I literally rode to the shop and put a Novus on and rode out on it. (The Specialized were the big thing then and all the rage.)
Happy riding. I hope to ride at a senior citizen pace to start out soon.
