 Bronze member |  Subject: Saddle questionI have a saddle that I love which came on my first road bike. It is a specialized lithia gel 155. I bought a new to me used road bike and need a different saddle for it but it looks like Specialized has discontinued the model seat I like. I'm wondering if I find another Specialized saddle with a cut-out and the same width of 155 is there a good shot it will fit the same? There are tons of other Specialized seats on Ebay, just not the one I want I'm being lazy and don't want to go to the bike shop (1.5 drive) and test out a bunch of new saddles. |

| 14 | Subject: RE: Saddle question It may be tough to find that particular model. Specialized has a habit of discontinuing models, but they generally keep the shapes. Meaning, while they don't make the LIthia in 155mm anymore, there's a good chance they just call it a different name. I would scour their website and see if any of the other 155mm saddles look close, or call a Specialized dealer and ask if they know what, if anything, the LIthia became. Good luck |

I love my Specialized Romin Evo Comp Gel. Yes I thought so too but they only have the Avatar in 130 mm and my Lithia is 155mm. I bought a spare Lithia when I got my tri bike but I didn't realize they came in different sizes - it is also the 130 mm. I tried that seat today and lets just say it does not work .... AT ALL! I picked a different one that comes in the same size so hopefully it will work!
