A2C on the fork is around 360mm with a 30mm rake. Overall it's a pretty relaxed geometry. The frame only pictures make it seem more aggressive since it's leaning forward on the fork. Here's a shot of a complete to get a better sense of the geometry and a chart too.

i would think so, yes! i have both. turbo does feel a little beefier. a little more padded. i actually really like my turbo allot. i ride on it more cuz its on my coaster brake 700c bike (commute, around town), and the arione on my road bike (long rides)....so yah turbos are a little less thin than an arione.

I meant in terms of sit bone placement. On the Fizik my sitbones are too wide and all the pressure ends up on the middle, which makes for a painful ride.

maybe look into a ladies comfort saddle? ^_^
lol i kid i kid.
well, like i said, it does seem to me the turbo seems a little wider than ariones, which seem thin (width) in comparison. i can do a more thurough look over when i get home.

No perineum pressure AND the added benefit of potentially greatly restricting blood flow to your legs!

I'm not sure whether to take insult at this or simply consider another option to look into.

brooks b17s are kinda wide. not women's comfort saddle wide, but wider than most road style saddles.
and i could be wrong, and will doublecheck once i get home, but i always thought turbos were a tiny bit on the wider side...well, at least compared to a fizik arione...

Try Specialized saddles. They come in multiple widths to support narrow, medium, and wide sit bones. I was pleasantly surprised with the Toupe saddle that came on my new Tarmac. I have an extra Arione and thought, "I'll change it out when I get time." I haven't felt the need to change it.
Specialized dealers have this pad that you sit on that your sit-bones make an impression in. They then measure the difference to see which saddle will suit you best. Nice system.

Edit: This one is 1/2 the price of the one above. Not sure of the difference: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...jsp?spid=53993

actually i just put the two up to each other for visual comparison *turbo and arione* and the arione is like half an inch thinner than the turbo, but its like an inch or so longer. also, the turbo seems taller and has a firmer padding compared to the arione.

me? No, I do my best to sit as far to the rear as I'm able to however even then it feels like there is not enough support. It may be more in the arche then the width. But we'll see

That's a huge discount for minimal difference.

199 ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!
a Premium Brew for 199 on Benscycle, it seems to have a dent on the seat tube. I'm guessing if they're selling it the bike should be sound. it's a 52CM. If it were my size i'd be on it like Dreadlocks on scordz' head.
PS. Leather bartape for under 40

Also,
All City, I believe these are also made by Andel which TT seems to believe are well made cranks. However after reading up i'm not sure they are the same models. However they still should be rebranded Andels.
