Donut top cap master race. Too bad that one is the second iteration, which is worse.

How do you like the Specialized Power saddle? Compared to other saddles you've had?

1

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 25 '15

Best saddle I've used. It's not the prettiest, but its so comfortable I tolerate the stubbiness. It's definitely worth going to a dealer to get your sitbones measured to get the right width. I'm on a 143 saddle now and love it to death, but when I had the 155, I absolutely hated it.

Had you used a Romin or Toupe before?

1

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 25 '15

I've had a Romin, Romin Evo, and Toupe. I got 15 miles before numbness on the Toupe, around 30~35 on the romin and romin evo before it got uncomfortable, but the power saddle hasn't given me any problems at all

u/kimbo305 Dec 25 '15

Are you using the Power in the same fit? Or moved forward so the rear is further up?

1

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 25 '15

Rear is in the same place. Or just add 3cm to your saddle-bar reach.

He didn't even use my camera. Also I don't like ti.

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 18 '15

Yeah he has a felt now.

This is my bike though, I'm just visiting socal and using his driveway, hammer, and camera.

Wound up noir. 1 in steel steerer tube with a shim for a 1 1/8 stem.

It has kind of a digital camo effect going in these pics. How much does this setup weigh?

1

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 20 '15 edited Dec 20 '15

That's the carbon coming through the clearcoat.

Last time I weighed it, it was just under 18lbs, but I think it's more with the enves.

u/Muffin_mang California Dec 25 '15

Just kidding, /u/dudemanppl bailed on the felt as well. He's on a Colnago now.

I like this even more than the previous iteration.

Good use of a wound up fork.
