I'm looking into buying one to gain some comfort over the stock seat thats on my bike right now.  Perhaps a silly question but...

Do you swap out the seat strictly for races or does it stay on the bike always?

Whichever Adamo saddle you choose it is the one youo will use on an every day basis.  Your rear develops "contact points" with a saddle and essentially toughens up that area ... and each brand of saddle has different contact points.

Along those lines, depending upon your cycling volumn and frequency it can take up to 30-45 days to break in a new saddle as it takes some time for your rear to adjust to the seat.  Be sure to give whichever saddle that much time before making a determination on whether it is the right one for you or not.

Lastly, a saddle can change your body position on the bike - so it pays to keep that in mind as you might need to tweak your fit a little.

Mine stays on both Road and Tri bike all the time.  I have taken a zip tie and pulled the front nose piece together just a little.  This is more comfortable for me but that's just personal preference.

Mine is on all the time.  I couldn't imagine riding comfortably with the nose of a saddle between my legs again!

I replaced my stock seat that was giving me comfort issues and replaced it with the Adamo. It's the only seat I use for training and racing.

I leave mine on the bike and I picked it up here: http://aebike.com/page.cfm?action=details&PageID=30&SKU=SA0111 for $93.99 including shipping.

x2 on the zip tie, and yes, stays on the bike.  I have a standard seat on my road bike though, and don't have a problem with it, though I don't ride in the drops much on the road bike, so maybe that's why.  I do like the Adamo on my tri bike.

The two models (one is the 'race' model and I forget what they call the other) are a bit different, so I'd try both if I were you.
