New saddle I love

[kermit]

Okay so thanks to another post on here I got the whole seat bone thing figured out. I found a Selle San Marco Glamour Aspide Arrowhead K (womens specific) and I love it. The thing just fits. Its flat and light but the square butt area flexes and gives you freedom for your legs. The nose is narrow so no chafing and the cutout is in the right place. I think this saddle is new and apparently getting very popular for us girls. I did 35 miles the first day on it and forgot it was there. I hope this joy continues as I have a century next month. Just thought I'd share for those in search of the perfect saddle.

That is a niiiice shape (narrow nose, wider sit area, my heinie likes!)

I haven't found the width of it in my searches, can you tell me what the width of yours is?

thanks!

(I love my two Brooks B67 saddles, but I'm always looking at others, too!)

Sorry I should have included them. They are 140 x 272 mm, which translates to about 10.7 x 5.6. Thats the box measurements, but I just took a tape measure and the butt is closer to 6 inches with the slight curve. I don't know why that is but the box is marked correctly. It weighs 210 grams for those counting.

Oh, man, if they ever make a wider one, I'll be all over it!
That is one nice looking saddle.

Thanks for measuring!

Knot - I have a 155 width on my road bike and love it. It's the exact same seat without the cutout. I find that the edge leading into most cutouts feels a bit sharp on my bit area so mine just has a groove and a more gradual transition. When I went to that seat last year, my riding changed. (along with getting the 0 setback seatpost for my short femurs). I got mine at Performance on sale. If you remember, I also went with tri shorts pretty much exclusively at the same time. Even more comfy for me then since I get more airflow even without the cutout. When I jumped on my bike for the first time this year (last weekend), there was no learning curve for my sit bones or bits this time. The "wings" of the saddle give a bit for comfort but are stiff enough for support. Hope this helps.

my big ol sitz are even wider than 155... eep!

At least I have Brooks, which I really do love. I agree on the tri shorts vs heavy chamois. I'm finding now that my Brooks is really broken in and formed to my anatomy that I am most comfy in wool boxers under unlined shorts or pants. (or tri shorts or old-fashioned thin chamois)
