Holding back on further body parts sales, for now.
they have two sizes. I'm average height/weight and probably fit better on the large size for longer distances (and narrower when I'm doing a short crit or track session). I'm guessing something in the 130's would work for ya. FYI, the Arione is better if you are in more of a race position and/or like a narrow saddle.
