Well, in that case ... as a matter of interest, @Andrew_P - how much would you want for that red and white one?Thanks guys but I should have specified 'black' arione saddle.
My Arione broke like that. I have been using the Planet X clone aka the Lovatt for a couple of years.Well, in that case ... as a matter of interest, @Andrew_P - how much would you want for that red and white one?
I have broken 2 Ariones in the past*** so I said that I wouldn't buy another one, but I do like them so if it were cheap enough then I might be tempted.
*** They both broke the same way - Wingflex flexing led to cracks across the width of each saddle which eventually joined up. I have just looked at some reviews on CRC and a couple of reviewers'd had the same problem.
I reckon I got well over 10,000 miles per saddle. If they were cheaper then the eventual breakages wouldn't have bothered me so much.
I have a couple of Planet X's now. I find them almost as good as the Arione and certainly better value for money, but if I could get an Arione cheap enough then I would put up with it breaking 10,000 miles down the line.My Arione broke like that.

I'm interested, cheers. Would you mind posting those pictures?If anyone else still wants one:
I have a black Arione R5 going spare. Black/Anthracite. Bought in April, used for about 100 miles. Doesn't seem to fit my bottom at all.
£45 posted. Can take pictures if anyone is interested.
OK cool, will do tomorrow (pic of saddle only, not my bottom).I'm interested, cheers. Would you mind posting those pictures?
