Take a seat

Not long after getting my road bike I put on a new seat. It seemed I had lucked out and found a good seat on my first try, but as I logged more and more miles, the saddle didn't break in like I had hoped. After 1200 miles on this saddle I decided it was time to try yet another one.
For this go 'round I went with the Fi'zi:k Arione. I installed it and went for a 30 mile spin, and while I'm not gonna make any comments about how it felt (don't wanna jinx it), I will say that it has more padding, which is what ended up being the downfall of the Signo. Minimal works for me, but in the end the Selle Italia was just too damn minimal. The extra padding certainly works in favor of the Arione, but the next few days should tell the story.
