Specialized Romin Saddle

155mm Romin saddle for sale in excellent condition.
Cost me E98 from Evans last September
No issues with comfort, just too wide.
I'm gonna buy the same saddle again in 143mm.
Looking for E65....or will swap for black 143mm Romin.

Any interest in this before I move it to adverts.ie?

Hey furiousx,

Is the saddle still available or have you sold it on yet?
Im interested if its available, but not sure if the 155mm would be too large.
My current saddle is 130mm, not sure if a change up to 155mm be too much.
What is the length?

Cheers

Hi
It's about 275mm long.
They're all the same length, just different widths (130, 143, 155)
You're welcome to try it for comfort and size if you want to.

As a matter of interest, is the 6mm each side (155-143mm) THAT noticeable? Do you find it uncomfortably so on longish spins?

I have a 143 on my Canyon and wanted a second one for the winter bike.
I tried the spesh "assometer" in Evans Manchester and according to that, 155mm was my size.
I bought the 155 but it just feels different, a little bit too big.
Hard to say exactly what's wrong but I feel I'm sliding around on the 155 a bit more and because it's wider, I'm more concious that it's there.
With the 143, I might be aware of all my other aches and pains but the saddle isn't noticeable at all and it just feels right.

Hey furiousox, just been doing a bit of reading there on sizing for me and looks like the 155 would be too large. It is a bit of a jump up from my current 130, which seems to fit pretty well. Pity, as its a nice saddle, best of luck with the sale!

Long shot. Is this still available?

furiousox

No it's gone sorry.
Cycleways sell them if you need one in a hurry.
