Can't decide to use the cash my relatives gave me to either pick up an Adamo Prologue saddle or a Gopro Hero camcorder that I can mount on my bike.

I would opt for saddle. Nothing better for comfort on the bike.

That's what I keep thinking too, but then I think how sweet it would be to attach a camera to my rear seat stay, go to this monster climb close to my house and get some awesome high speed downhill twisty road riding footage.

I guess it kind of depends on your current saddle too.  If you already have a cut-out saddle then go with the GOPRO.

ya my saddle sucks, it's a cheapy Profile Design that doesn't work well. I guess the Go Pro can wait, it's too wet outside for the technical descents around here anyways.

I've been in a few positions that weren't too comfortable, but sure were fun.

I got a GoPro last year for Christmas and its still in the box.  I've spent 2,500 miles with my saddle over the same period of time.  For me, I'd go with the saddle.

My favourite online shop had the new Prologue saddle in so I just ordered it now! 

I hope it's finally the answer for me to be able to pee after a long ride and actually feel it.

It's not your butt that hurts with an ill-fitting tri-saddle.

I'd say saddle first because the OP said the current one isn't that great.

I tried an adamo and found it too wide and pinchy on my bits.  GoPro's are cool.

Do more riding and toughen up your butt.  have fun with the camera.

there are always saddles on the classifieds- you can probably pick up one there cheap.

That's why I'm interested in trying this new one from ISM, they said they have narrowed the prongs and they're closer together.

Lack of riding isn't the issue, I'm on that bad boy 5x a week.

 Big time ditto.

You have no idea if you will even like that saddle,  While it is a good one there is always a big chance on saddles, 

while that camera would be quite fun..   I had a major crash requiring an ambulance having to rush me to a hospital last year on a great run down the ski slopes on the bike.   I wish I had a camera on the bike to see the footage.  When people rush up to you screaming "is he still alive" you know it was a good one. 

I'm sure I would have made youtube history

I would love to unload it but my wife gave it to me and she's kind of funny about selling off her gifts.  Thanks though.
