I had a brief stint on the Pro Stealth, didn't work great for me, but could see how it would for others. If it doesn't pan out, shoot me a PM. I have about four saddles you may want to try out. A few other forum members and I have been passing them around so people can try before buying. One that may be nice for you on the trainer is the Infinity saddle. Still the most comfortable saddle for long hours of not moving around too much I've ever been on, but I couldn't reconcile with the width, nor frankly the aesthetics. I also have a Fabric Line saddle with carbon rails and a Bontrager Affinity with Carbon Rails. The fabric is a scoop style, the Bontrager similar to you current Toupe (which for me has still been the best)

I've had the Stealth for a few weeks, now - it's been very good. With my older bibs, ones that are relegated to trainer duty, it's perfect on the trainer - not a hint of numbness over a typical one hour session. The funny thing is that numbness will slowly creep in with my 'good' bibs (they have a slightly thicker chamois), but that usually means standing once for 10 seconds on an hour session, which is much better than the Toupe. I've only been outside on the Stealth once so far - it was brilliant.

Bike is done. Theme here is OEM+ with Tektro calipers being swapped over to 5800s (making the bike a true full 5800 bike), and Shimano RS010 anchors and Conti Ultrasports dropped in favor of a nice shiny pair of Zondas and GP 5000s. Specialized cages in red and white that match the bike perfectly (Colnago ones absolutely sucked and ejected bottles left and right, don't waste your money), and what you can't see is a red and black Wahoo Elemnt Bolt that also matches the bike.
If only I were fit enough to dump a couple spacers...
EDIT: Replaced picture with one with better white balance.

EDIT: Not sure why the picture makes the bike look dark red, almost orange...it's bright freakin' red and pearl metallic in the sun.

I see the primer is dry. What color are they going to paint it? So, we are going from murdered out to monochrome or something close. Not feeling it. Maybe if it was an appealing color or had some accents. Very dull. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Not to pile on, but the matching colored cables make it look like a rattlecan paint job.

I like the pink/blue combo on their site a lot better.

Look What's Coming in the Mail Next Week
Look 785 Huez RS, Sram AXS, Enve SES 3.4s. Size: XS. Built to spec by wrenchscience.com. On its way for delivery next week. I will cut down the excess steerer, adjust the bar angle and lever position, etc., after I have a chance to confirm/refine the fit. (NOTE: I did not take this photo, so there's no need to comment on the specifics of the photo.)

The photo was taken by the dealer (Wrench Science, in Berkeley, CA), who is shipping the bike to me this week. It is a custom-ordered bike, built to my spec. The photo is of the actual bike, which is on the UPS truck right now. It's not a stock photo, if that's what you are implying.

Hmm. Where is it written that I have to take the photo myself? The photo was taken by the dealer (Wrench Science, in Berkeley, CA), who is shipping the bike to me this week.
