今回米国旅行での収穫のひとつがこのC1.30サドルだ。eBayでポチッたものだが、お買い得値段で落札できて、状態もまずまずだった。触ってみるとかなり硬いサドルという印象だが、どこかの書き込みに座った時クッション性を感じると印象が書かれていて、それに賭けてみたわけだ。確かに角度設定を追い込むとフィット感が良くて、同じプロロゴのChoice(旧バージョン)より辛さがなかった。実際に100km超のツール参加を支障なくこなせたので大丈夫だと思う。そしてこの軽さを獲得したのが最大のメリットでやる気が起きる。但しビブ・ショーツは不可欠。
他にも普通には高すぎて買えないEggbeater 11ペダルを狙っていて、出物があったので自分の予算内の$185で入札してみたが$191でさらわれてしまった。
One of achievements in my trip to San Francisco was this Prologo C1.30 saddle. I found this in eBay and won it for a reasonable price, and it was actually a fairly good condition. This carbon saddle looks very stiff touching its surface, but I relied on a comment in the net that said rather flexible sitting on it. When the sitting angle is precisely fine tuned, it fits me well, and I tend to feel less stress than Prologo Choice. As I went through over 100km in Tour de Fuzz, I can say it is certified, and the immense achieved value is its lightness! And bib shorts are essential to wear.
Other than this, I have been looking for Eggbeater 11 pedals that I cannot afford normally, and I bid $185 within my budget for a used pair in eBay, but someone charged $191 to take them.
