| Just as comfortable as my trusty old Rolls!
|
| 2628.4 | maybe just a little narrow at the back | BIGBAD::GULICK | Those dirty rings !! | Tue Aug 03 1993 13:20 | 5 |
| It's comfortable but I do notice if I'm in the saddle up a hill, my butt will
slide halfway off the back but it may just be my seat is too low. Never had this
problem with the stock Vetta racing saddle on the same bike.

| 2628.5 | contrasting opinion | LASSIE::ZIELONKO | | Tue Aug 03 1993 14:18 | 4 |
| rode one a week or two when i had a friend's trek 5500 to play with. i thought
it was ungodly uncomfortable. however it is worth saying that my seat position
on the bike was lower than i normally ride on because the frame was a tad too
small. this may have been the cause of my discomfort.

| I got used to it very quickly last year when I got my 5500. Then after
riding my solid leather Ideale to Wisconsin last year -- and the
associated 3 week's of riding and vacation, it took me a whole month to
get used to the Flite again. WHen I saw Flite's available for 59.99
this year I bought a couple so I wouldn't have to go through that
again. That and an American Classic seat post took 1 pound off my
touring bike -- which I compounded by using my 320 gm LOOK pedals. :-)

| 2628.7 | I like mine..... | CARTUN::VINCENT | | Tue Aug 03 1993 17:32 | 5 |
| I found the saddle comfortable from the first mile on......I also
have one on my MTB.
Anybody tried the Carbon Fiber model? Nashbar has them on sale and
I'm thinking about one for my TT bike

| 2628.8 | Buy it | BRAT::JASINSKI | | Tue Aug 03 1993 21:06 | 8 |

I have to agree with most of the other replies here. I replaced my
Vetta VSA gel saddle with the Flite Ti. I think the Flite is more
comfortable, and half a pound lighter.

| 2628.9 | sounds good to me | KIDVAX::OPR_BROGDEN | | Wed Aug 11 1993 01:18 | 1 |
| Cool.....thanks!
|
| 2628.10 | BOTH ARE GREAT (IMHO) | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Mon Aug 16 1993 16:41 | 4 |
| I have both (the carbon on roadie and the regular on my TT) Both
are as comfortable as anything I've used...

| 2628.11 | Good choice!! | VLNVAX::OPR_BROGDEN | | Mon Aug 16 1993 21:15 | 5 |
| Yup, I went out this weekend and bought two leather/ti sadles, one for
each bike, I don't have any regrets about them either,VERY
COMFORTABLE!!
Thanks-

| 2628.12 | This is probably not relevant: | ASDG::SMITH | | Tue Aug 17 1993 16:40 | 2 |
| Are any road professionals using the Flite ?
|
| 2628.13 | Bugno ??? | EDWIN::GULICK | Those dirty rings !! | Tue Aug 17 1993 17:09 | 3 |
| I vaguely recall this but I could be wrong.

| 2628.14 | THEY'RE CATCHING ON... | WMOIS::GIROUARD_C | | Tue Aug 17 1993 18:39 | 6 |
| I've seen them but can't provide names. I believe the ads mentioned
Bugno too...
I can verify that a ton of them are showing up at the races.

Browsing through the '95 products in this month's Bicycling magazine and
noted the latest in Ti fashions. Troxel has developed the Ti helmet. No
weight was listed, the report simply stated: "[The helmet] uses a strong
titanium shell the reportedly allows the use of less foam, making for a
smaller profile and less weight". Price around $200.
The picture makes it look kind of Darth Vaderish (at least from the nose up)
since it has an integrated, gray mirrored, face shield. Wonder what's next
... perhaps a Ti exoskeleton that keeps you from breaking your collar bone
when performing headers?
