I just noticed yesterday that Selle SMP now has "lady" versions of most of their saddles (I'm pretty sure that they're just different colors- white w/pink and black w/pink) .
More importantly, they've added one called the "Lite 209." It's slightly wider/longer than the Glider model, but looks to be built on the same shell, so the nose is not as wide as the "Pro" model, which is the next size up. It's also not as padded as the Pro. I'm thinking about trying one out if I can get it through the Cbike demo program because the Pro that I tried was too wide in the nose, and the Glider was barely too narrow in the rear.
Oh yeah, they've got carbon-railed saddles, now, too, but I don't think that rails are a great place to apply carbon fiber technology.
EDIT: I just checked w/Cbike & they said that the Lite 209 will not be available for demo. CRAP! I don't have the $$ to shell out for one that I may have to resale... though they do hold value pretty well... Anyone know of any other SMP demo programs?
