So I found a way to measure the distance between my sit bones (rolled some play-doh thinly between 2 sheets of paper and sat--removing the play-doh left 2 dots where the bones were), and came up with 6.25 inches, which equals 158.75 mm. Ok, so what do I do with that measurement? I was looking at some of those Brooks saddles that some folks here had recommended, and they were listed as 177 mm. So does that work? I don't know how much extra room the bones need on either side, generally speaking. I'm sure that at least part of this saddle-finding adventure will involve just trying them out until I find "the one", but I need to have a jumping-off place, if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for your help!
