The cheap carbon is indeed a good way of finding out how the shape feel.
I am for once in my life, 100% comfortable with my bike, especially the SMP Composit after some prolonged tweaking of the position.
After two days of continuous riding (inc. night) I'm still 100% comfortable on the saddle.
That is priceless.
You're absolutely right of course, especially considering that I've never really felt particularly comfortable on a bike. However I'm just getting to the point where I'm prepared to spend more than a few hundred on a complete bike, never mind half of that on a saddle!
As far as I'm concerned this cheap carbon is a way to find out if the shape works for me, before investing that amount of money.
