Hi Fly,

I got to look at the Fizik Arione tonight and I am going to try it out. I'll be able to test it for a while and I'll change it out if it isn't wide enough in the nose area. It certainly is long like I prefer. By the way, I put my down payment on the bike tonight and the order went into Calfee. In 6 to 8 weeks I'll have my new ride, I'll post pics and I'll tell about my ride experiences.

I hated mine, badly. And I tried it many times, with long periods inbetween. Feels like I'm sitting on my perineum--and it's not pleasant. Also not wide enough for my sit bones. Horrible.

Mmmmmmm...a new Calfee...{*homer gurgling sounds*}
I just got a new job, and it came with a signing bonus. My wife said I should blow it, you deserve it, get a new bike! Wow. Oh so very tempting...to join this club. Many ideas about moving parts around and repurposing the current stable...ah but belongs in other threads.

Good luck on the Arione. I think they suck and have heard the same. I think it's an anatomy thing though. You need a long ride on it if you can. My discomfort kicks in, hard, at about 40 miles, and won't go away. Then sooner thereafter.
