Much harder to wobble on a trike, no doubt!
Hi! Sorry to be late on replying...I've been busy. ;) Thanks for all the comments on the color...I love it! I'm still working out flags/lights, but they will be mostly for fun as I ride 99.9% bike...
Pretty slow in this forum so let me help it out. ;)

I saw at least four riding against traffic. Several others didn't make complete stops at stop signs. No wonder drivers get so fed up with us. :mad:
Congratulations on your new bike, aponi! I wish someone would draw a diagram of both men and women sitting on a saddle -- maybe from the side, as a cross cut or something -- so we could just point. ...
I've been sidelined a few days with an injury, but I'm hoping to give it a good ride after work this evening. :) It feels good so far, but I may want them to order the "RL" for me to try. Glad you...
I'm a little over 5'6" and the Bontrager I picked up today is probably in the middle of the rails. I think it feels pretty good. Will get a ride in tomorrow to be sure, but so far, the best of the...
Picked up an Affinity R today -- they don't stock the RL, but will be happy to order. I can see tell that the padding on the nose may be a problem...I've lowered the nose twice. Hopefully this is...
I found a 2007 for sale in CA for $650, but that's the only one I could find. Good luck getting a bike you like! :)
Could you trade it in toward the bike you want? What year is the Bella?
I am going to try the Bontrager Affinity if I can find it locally. Only two dealers in my area, so here's hoping! I'm not sure what level of padding, but I think I'll start with the mid-range RL...
:o Oops...I meant I raised the saddle (didn't raise the stem)! Got my anatomy confused. Basically, though, I went from a different saddle to the Diva without raising...then raised with the Toupe. ...
With just a mile around my 'hood, I like the Toupe Expert better than the SI Diva already. The Diva will be returned tomorrow. I'm heading out now for a bike path ride with the Toupe to see how it...
Thanks for that! Funny you mention it as I actually checked out my plastic skeleton. It's got narrower ITs than I do because it's not full size, but it got the picture in my head of how it all fits...
I don't think I need a cutout, no. I originally thought it would just be better in case I did. I know that's not true for everyone. Years ago I had a Terry Liberator with a cutout and it seemed to...
Thanks for all the info! Picked up a Toupe Expert, but it was $130!! I feel like I got taken on that one. Will try it out tonight.
I am pretty sure I am in need of a more T-shaped saddle than the pear shapes I have been trying out. I get sore toward the inside of my sit bones. I measured a few different ways and keep coming up...
On a whim, I stopped by Performance today and picked up a Selle Italia Diva. I don't think it solved my pear shaped problem. I *think* the width feels better, but hard to tell when the thing is...
Sky King, I have a Trek Pilot 2.0 WSD. I usually ride on the hoods...rarely in the drops. That could change with time, but for now......
Thanks for the info, Muirenn, I appreciate it! I will dig deeper over the weekend. And maybe I'll try to get better measurements....I only left dimples in the clay with my big end. ;)
Would a Brooks B17 work for me? I have a friend getting rid of an Apple Green...and I love green! :D
So, sitting in modeling clay covered in saran wrap on the edge of my tub, I'm pretty sure I've come up with 127mm twice. That's about center to center in the depressions. Does that sound about...
Okay, thanks anyway, but I think I've figured out how to measure and I'll just go from there. Looks like a width issue more than anything.
I'm starting to ride again and rode three+ miles today. It was great, but the area inside my thighs toward the rear hurt like heck (hard to explain, but it's not my sits bones -- almost seems medial...
Looks great!! I'm glad you enjoyed the trails, Emily! I also live 10 miles from YS...just a different direction. ;) I'm near the McDonald's just North of Xenia.
