I had an Adamo for half distance triathlon and that was nice. On a nice flat course in NJ, was able to do 22mph @ 190 watts for 2 hours 37 min...thought that was pretty fun. And I think that included stopping to pee! I tried to put the Adamo on my track bike and it wasn't feeling right... but I might still tinker with it. otherwise id be willing to sell it.

let's talk saddles for a brief moment.. I've logged more hours on my TT bike in the last 10 days than I have in the previous 3 months combined, and now my junk is starting to feel like it's been the victim of a cheese grater. Obviously, my saddle choice for my road bike (toupe) isn't working very well.
Is anyone running anything like an adamo, cobb, etc, and would you care to comment on it?

Thanks. Saddle slipped a little on last ride (still playing with it so it was probably a little loose, plus I'm heavy), rails started level as I believe they're supposed to be with that saddle. The only thing I need is my contractor to have remembered to order my cabinets on time!

FWIW, I wound up with a Cobb (v-flow max). I'm pretty happy with it, and they'll do a no questions asked money back on it if you're unhappy for any reason.

If you have small hips, it can be an issue. The ISM is a great saddle for most, but it's not for everyone (what saddle is?). I even tried zip tieing the rails together to bring the nose in, but that just made it uncomfortable.

Yes, I have better wheels, these are just for training. And yes, the saddle bag / bottle cages come off. No, I don't own a white garage door.

I got my frameset very cheap from a sort of triathlete that just upgraded to a brand new Cervelo because "the frame wasn't a good fit for him".
It was as good as new
Build this from it:
Total cost 1100€.
It's a work in progress ... I have swapped the straight extensions to the bent type and like them much better ... perfect for training and I will probably upgrade the wheelset once I earn them by doing some races.

Ken, too bad I didn't read this earlier. I use the Adamo and I have a spare that you could've tried out. I loaned it to another guy this week..
FWIW, I tried all sorts of saddles and had issues. The Adamo is ugly as hell but it works.
