I rode this thing three times for about an hour a piece and was pretty torn up afterwards. The shape is OK, but the surface texture on the nose will leave anyone with an aggressive position raw in the crotch.

I noticed Lance has an Adamo on his Trek Speed Concept in some recent pictures.

The title of this article on the home page was "Time trialing doesn't have to be painful."

I was hoping for more, because in my experience, it does. It certainly does. The saddle has always been a minor concern in TTs, far down on my list of concerns. The top concerns are usually that I might actually vomit while riding and the feeling that my heart might explode. If the saddle is making my privates numb, well, that means that there is one part of my body that is not screaming in pain.

With that said, I love TTs.

Next time I fall off the front of my saddle I'll consider it.

We''ll I guess that just depends on who my sources are right?
The nose cutting thing was just a teaser.

Neuvation S12. TT and Tri specific, with a padded nose like the ProLogo. Yes, it weighs 300 grams, but it's on sale right now for $40, and my crotch luves it.

I don't think the UCI should limit things like that they should put no restrictions so the thing is comfortable. it can't possibly give that much of and advantage if there is a body sitting on it, so why not just go for comfort? then we wont have any alleged blood peeing going on. or real blood peeing. i understand why they do, but it just doesnt seem right that they should.

'heard that some saxo bank riders where peeing blood for three days' …
so on a vague rumour, based on 'some saxo bank riders' you assume he must have cut off the nose of the saddle to be comfortable.
interesting.
thanks for adding your 2 cents to this article

Exactly–ride and evaluate… And don't be afraid to put the (any) saddle where the Pro Tour folks wish they could–where the 'rivet' puts you at the widest point instead of on the tip.

Which is why it's important to ride it and evaluate, rather than looking and evaluating…

UCI rules limit forward saddle position, so this saddle only seems necessary if you are governed by this. Otherwise, move the ol' saddle forward to the right spot and you don't have to sit on the tip or need the burly-gnarl-bumps to stay situated. This thing looks like it could do damage… :-]

Zack you need to check out Cobb Cycling's V FLOW MAX saddle. I know of 4 riders that are now using this saddle due the initial trail and the WOW this is a great feeling saddle impression that continues after a few weeks using it.

Adamo 'race' saddle. Best for TT's, look it up.

Yeah nice saddle, heard that some Saxo bank riders where peeing blood for three days after riding a TT on this saddle and where happy to switch to Specialized TT saddles.

So if this saddle is comfortable to you, you must have cut off that nose.
