Wanted: Specialized Romin 143mm

Posted on
  • Looking for a 143mm wide Romin, preferably an expert with Ti rails in decent condition for around £40-50.

    PM me if you have one available.

  • Hi Bump, thanks for taking the time to check it out for me, but I'm going from the newer 2013 Flite, that shares a similar flat profile to the Toupe, but want to find something that helps rotate my hips forward a bit more like the Romin.

    I'm super flexible, but need more core strength, as I find I start to move around on a flat saddle a bit too much, and would prefer the kind of 'wavy' profile back-to-front to keep me in a good position.... and probably need some pilates/yoga lessons too. >_<

  • Sounds like your hips could be out of alignment.
    An easy exersize is to lay flat on your back, draw your legs up as if in a sort of sit up position and let legs go sideways outward inward in no particular fashion all the while keeping your back flat. draw your knees into your chest and squeeze down.(like a swimming pool bomb position cept you're on your back)
    Might help, if not try some Shiatsu sessions as there may well be an underlying problem which Pilates/Yoga won't necessarily sort out and could exacerbate

    gl hunting for a saddle

  • Yep, my hips are well out of alignment after a pretty serious injury to left ankle and torn cartilage in right knee, and I suffer from fibromyalgia, which effects the muscles and can be very painful.

    Will try the exercises, sounds similar to what my osteopath does to me actually, thanks for that.

    Will look into the Shiatsu, never heard of it before (apart from the odd breed of dog!).
