This special edition saddle is part of Fizik’s Les Classiques collection, the brand’s homage to the Spring Classics that also includes a pair of paint effect mud-splattered Tempo Overcurve R4 shoes and rolls of flecked Tempo Bondcush bar tape.
Curiously, Fizik has chosen to celebrate these harsh early races with one of its endurance models rather than a full-on race saddle. However, in the highly unlikely event that I was to ride a savage Monument, such as Paris-Roubaix, I’d want to lavish as much comfort on my derrière as humanly possible. So, it’s not an unwelcome surprise.
