Last night was my first ride on the new saddle. The Bontrager Inform RL. Needless to say it was awesome! No numbness, no sore spots under my sit bones. I was able to make the Pungo Loop without having to constantly stand and shift in the saddle. This is the second Bontrager product to go on to my bike. The first was the Bontrager Fit VR “Mini Drop” handle bars. They were originally designed for women, but as short as I am they worked perfectly. So that’s two times that Bontrager has been able to solve fit problems for me on the bike!
We were riding this Saturday and the person that I was riding with asked if I had done any upgrades on my bike. That got me to thinking….What has been done to my bike?
I started with the Felt F5C which was a pretty nice bike. First came a set of Ksyrium SSC SL wheels. The next upgrade was the Bontrager Fit VR bars. Several saddles swaps. Then, I moved up to Campagnolo Chorus from Shimano Ultegra/105. Now the Bontrager Inform RL Saddle. The only things on the bike that are original are the seat post, forks, and frame. So, in the end I have ended up spending almost $3000 for my ride in it’s current state. Next time around I think I will start with the frame and build up from there to get what I want in the beginning! Then again who would have thought that two years ago when I bought the bike I would still be riding it.
Hmmm if you like them so much why can't your wife get any of their products :)~
