Thanks for the info. I suppose what with it being more of a TT oriented saddle, ideally you shouldn't be out of the saddle too much.

“Almost everyone who complains about thigh rubbing has their saddle too high. With ISM, you always have to lower your saddle at least a few millimeters (or more) compared to other saddles. It’s because you’re resting on your sit bones, and not your other ‘stuff’. The other thing is that many modern bike shorts have a really bulky chamois to help make up for uncomfortable saddles, and this can sometimes cause a little thigh rub with [ISM]. The main thing is seat height, though. Nine times out of ten, lowering the saddle solves the problem.”

Recently fitted someone with an Attack and following the ISM fitting guide, we got it spot-on first time. Adamo have more leeway than an SMP, when looking for the "sweet spot".

I honestly think you are pissing money away buying a fake: the quality is shit, they aren't that cheap and you won't get a realistic idea of whether or which Adamo is for you.

Far better paying for a demo and biding your time.

I can recommend Pedal Pedal for a demo (£10 for two weeks plus deposit): nice people to deal with and good prices too.
