Yeah it's good - been on my Varonha for a while now as I dial it in.
The Gebiomized-badged ones are something stupid like £180 for ti rails... but I managed to find the carbon Syncros version for £116, which isn't too bad in comparison with high-end Fizik / San Marco etc.
Believe it or not I still haven't finalised the numbers for this yet, so still don't know when it'll be ready. I've already missed my place in the build queue so once the numbers are done it shouldn't be too long.
The saddle faff took f*cking ages and of course changes the numbers each time, even if only very slightly.
I was so impressed with the saddle fitter that I let him have a go at my cleats to sort out one or two niggles. But he actually made things worse so I had to rebook to fix it... then he made things even worse again so I gave up on him and went back to Scherrit last week. After every appointment there is a couple of weeks of riding to figure out if it's okay, followed by a wait to get another appointment because all the fitters are booked-up for weeks in advance atm.
Right now I'm riding around on the Varonha with the new saddle in place and Scherrit's new shoe set-up. Hopefully it'll be better than it was - this bike fit stuff has been going on far too long and I'm totally bored of it!
What it really boils down to is breaking my leg a couple of years ago. It threw my previous position out and since then it's been extremely tricky finding something that works. I think the real answer is start physio again. Anyone who's broken a leg before will understand how enthusiastic I feel about that!
