It seems a sturdier design. I will have to do some long rides on it next year to see if the new design turns out to be as comfortable as the old one. I wouldn't have paid full price to find out, but at your bargain price of £20 it wouldn't be a major problem if I don't get on with it.
I did a 35 mile ride on it yesterday and ...
... it gave me a saddle sore!
So, the old Planet X Arione clone is now back on the Cannondale and I will use the red/white Arione on the bike on my turbo trainer. I have a nasty saddle on it at the moment and the Arione is better than that and should be fine for my turbo sessions which typically only last 40-45 minutes. It didn't start to hurt my bum until I had been riding for a lot longer than that.
