Supposedly, the Avocet I is cushier and for "weekend cyclists";
the II is firmer; and the III is a II with aluminum alloy rails,
which are very light but eventually break.  In recent years
Avocet has come out with a lot of new models (and a fair amount
of hype), so the old definitions may not still be valid.
