Is the Gobi seat a good choice for a roadie? The only negative I heard so far is the cordura sides may be too abrasive on lycra road shorts. Any commnts?

I ride with the Gobi on my mountain bike, but I tried it on my road bike and I honestly don't care for it as much. After trying scads (20+) road saddles, I'm personally sold on these two:http://www.backcountry.com/store/SEL0004/Selle-Italia-Flite-Classic-Gel-Flow-Saddle.htmlhttp://www.mtbr.com/cat/controls/saddle/tioga/spyder-saddle/PRD_412516_140crx.aspxI will also strongly discourage you from the fi'zi:k Arione saddle, that thing is a pain!Mr. Fuller above doesn't like the Arionne for roadies, but I for one know quite a few teams that race at the collegiate level who love it. (myself included) Your mileage may vary.
