This is identical to a post I made in the slowtwitch Women's Forum.
Would anyone be interested in participating in creating a shared reference Excel spreadsheet with some recommended saddle types for all of us?
I have created a document at http://spreadsheets.google.com/...MxOWhkb1E&hl=en. Feel free to modify the document with extra columns, etc. and also to only fill in information you are comfortable sharing (weight is a personal issue--wasn't sure if I should include it or not). You will notice there is no column for our names :-)
Hopefully this makes it easier for us to share recommendations without scrolling through a dozen archived posts on saddles.
Thank you!

but Karen, what we've found here on this forum is that a saddle that I LOVE you might hate!!

For all we know, what type of bike is one of the variables ... since none of us can get to the file, who knows?
I would welcome a spreadsheet that would show me, for instance, what saddles are more T-shaped than my Jett.

The link. Sorry about that.

I do realize that every person is different, yada yada yada. And yet, people do ask whether others can recommend a saddle. So this is only a centralized location for some recommendations.
Just an idea. I hope it works. I know I get frustrated scrolling through and searching for the gazillion postings on the same question.
Regarding the sit bone measurement, here is a thread on how to measure: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=2372
I used the method of sitting on a piece of paper on concrete, then measuring the distance between the two indentations created by the sit bones.
I added mine. I have no idea what my sitbone measurement is, so I don't think my entry will be very helpful. Since I'm happy with my saddle, I won't be measuring my sitbones any time soon.
