Anyone managed to make any sense of the prologo fitting information? They look like really nice saddles and good value too - my romin SL is finally at the point of needing replacing. Awesome up to 3 hrs, not so great after that.

The Nago Evo and Kappa Evo are the closest to the Romin so, if you're looking to try something else one of these might be the ticket.

Bump...KWalker, do you have an update on the Romin?

I had an old Romin expert w/ ~20K kms. Just recently switched to a Power Pro but so far I'm not sure I like it. I may share you sentiments on the lack of nose. I'm going to ride it for a bit more but I'm looking at the new 2016 Romin EVO Pro vs the Romin Pro.

My Romin didn't really allow me to get super low, (faux aero position was uncomfortable, drops were OK). I'm thinking the EVO would be better, but from what I'm reading the EVO isn't as supportive as the regular Romin. What I don't like is that both of their shells are carbon reinforced vs full carbon like the Power.
