Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New Saddle suggestion

Ive been riding on a romin evo 155 for more or less 3 years, and think it may be time to venture into other saddles that can be easier on my pride and joy. I need a saddle thats curved, wide enough, with narrow nose, pretty much like the romin evo i have, but perhaps allow for better blood flow.

Ive tried smp saddles very briefly on the trainer, and have had trouble staying centered on some, or the nose would be too wide.

This is for a race bike

You exactly described the Power saddle. The Romin Evo was previously my favorite saddle, but the Power is just better. Perfectly comfortable in the drops, shorter nose, but still shaped overall similar to the Romin with a dip in the center.
