I've been to their web site, but now can't find anything. They make a couple of standard-sized saddles as well as a custom line.
I found it via an ?article in Bicycling? I'm pretty sure I also saw an ad in the back of Bicycling magazine also, but not this months, of course.
It was a small company out of Canada. I want to say an orthotics firm? They take a mold an generate a carbon fiber saddle. Very pricey.
I got enough success using my selle-anatomica modified B-68 that I stopped looking any further.
Edit: Not the same company as I was looking at, but http://www.sellelogica.com/

Ok, the Selle Logica is doing exactly what I want to do!
D'ya think he'd like someone to open up the female market for him? (from the imprints on the saddles he's showing on the website, I'd guess he's only been doing men's saddles so far.)
This is like getting a Brooks that's already broken in. (ummm, but at $600 and without the ability to continue to mold to you)
Oh, and do y'all notice how those sit bone grooves match the angle of the transition zone of his saddles? No extra bits where you don't need them, cuz they only chafe. (this is the "pear vs. T" thing)
Seriously, I should write to this guy...
ETA: Grandprix - I've worked with women with pelvic floor dysfunction, you can continue to ride a bike! Please measure your sit bones, and post the measurement with a list of the problems you've had with saddles in the past/currently. There are many very experienced saddle-searchers on this forum! Someone will have a suggestion that will change your cycling universe!
