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

I used this saddle for three years, I had no complaint it was comfortable. I ride a fair number of century rides, maybe 10 per season, and the saddle was never an issue.

I had it and didn't like it. It's still in my garage collecting dust. I may give it to my nephew.

I am riding one right now and have been for a few years. Its okay. Personally, I think it is pretty narrow and not the best for bloodflow. I eventually go numb if I don't move around enough. Other than the bloodflow issue, I think its pretty good. It has plenty of padding (if you like that) but is still fairly firm. The shape is flat (no curve) so I have to point it nose down to get it comfortable. Basically the saddle is just decent. Its not the best out there but I think it is far from the worst as well.

As I recall, they used to come as the stock seat on mid to higher end Cannondales a few years ago. When I bought mine, the LBS told me that they had stopped making them so I got a closeout deal on one (half price). I'm not sure if I'd buy one for full price though.

its well made and relatively light for the money, just depends how it feels for your particular anatomy, it wasn't the best fit for me

Mine came stock on my 2005 Cannondale R900 and if anything as I lose weight (70 lbs so far) I'm thinking it is too wide, but really no problems here

For me, the poggio was a real ass hatchet. It made my backside hurt almost immediately.

I ended up with the arione which I love.
