Thanks again though.

I have an old one - that has some tears on the sides that I can sell to you if you wanted to try out one that is fully functional and comfortable. How much were the ones at the shop in Taipei?

Woah, just checked on the price. Damn expensive. Will probably still go for the Specialized or An-Atomica, but looks like a good saddle though.

After reading all the good stuff about the An-Atomica I am still quite convinced that it works. But if it breaks without even an accident or something I'd be quite pissed off.

I'm 89kg (196lbs) and would definitely go for the Clydesdale version, but am not sure if that really makes any difference over the regular model.

The $90 difference as well as your feedback is tipping me towards the Specialized.

Thanks again,
Peter

The first one was honored and replaced. The second one the guy didn't want to deal with me. Look at the Avatar in your size by Specialized. Much less $$. I have several and they work for me.
