I mentioned this on another thread looking for saddle recommendations but if anyone is looking for an Adamo, Trybikes are selling some pirately yellow and bright pink ones on eBay for 70 quid which I know isn't cheap but it's 50 quit cheaper than the RRP. As you know from the post above I've been thinking of one for my TT bike which is a grey Felt so the bright colour brightens it up and makes it easier to spot in transition. At least that's the theory, I'll let you know how it works as I just bought last night.

Oddly enough I spoke to someone in transition yesterday who had a yellow one bought off ebay, on a grey Felt...
This so needs to be boinged - absolutelly brilliant!!
I found my lady garden was fine on my spec toupe saddle (which also has a cut-out) & padded shorts & also HTFU by going on longer rides each time, so when I got my TT bike I assumed the same saddle would work again. Big schoolgirl error as you're in a totally different position & my lady garden became *very* unhappy (despite trying to HTFU as well)! Was about to go through a saddle trial process with my bike shop (as they have some you can take away & try) & Adamo was one they recommended, which looking at it I was very dubious about, but reading all the comments here sounds like it's going to be well worth the try!
My garden is a bloody disgrace, not been able to get the mower on it for weeks and I do like to have nice stripes . Next door neighbour is hacking at hers with a strimmer and the garden behind is that wet that you cant walk on it without wellingtons on and lots of strange fungi sprouting!!
Be warned with the Adamo. It's designed for cycling down on the bars or on a TT bike. Do not get one if you mainly ride with your hands on the top bars. They are rock solid on the sit bones.
I have a selle italia on mz tri bike and find it works well for me. Tried a cut-out saddle and a gel saddle, they were both bloody uncomfortable. I guess for me less is more.

I actually went for the pink
I know it's not very pirately but I wasn't wild on the yellow one at all!
Boinged for Saffers!
But Meldy, I thought you sat on horses quite a lot?
One of my all-time favourite threads
And I might even need some of the advice on here if I take up cycling a bit more!
Oh... A classic!
Amazing what a couple of years cycling can do for the htfu-ing!

I found that too Holly. Having an Adamo has definitely forced me into a more aero position.
