I've done 130 mile centuries on the fix gear with those Flys. I consider that a pretty good test. (The century plus riding to and from.)

You're both riding the Fly with drop bars? Interesting I have the Fly on my hardtail and I like it. I'll have to try it on drop bars

That's me, and why I answered a 4/10 on my road saddle, a Scoop Shallow 135mm. Shoulda gone with the flat instead of shallow and the 142mm wide version instead? Doesn't seem to sit on the sit bones right. Seems like plusher chamois make it worse. Did a 140 miler with it but oof not very good, chamois butter helped. I want to do 300k, 200mile stuff but haven't found the right saddle yet.
