    Saddles that come in PINK??? :)

    I have a Terry Damselfly pink saddle and it's time to move on to find a non-bit squishing saddle. I have been trying the San Marco Mantra, which sadly does NOT come in pink, yet it does seem to be working for me so far, which is awesome. It does cause some discomfort to my sit bones after a while, but I'm thrilled it's working as well as it is. Dh has this saddle on his bike and wants one for his MTB, so I'm ordering the Mantra to go ahead and use for my default saddle while I try some others to be sure. And since I'm the queen of pink, I might as well try saddles that are pink or have pink on them first. So far, these are the saddles I know I can get with pink:

    Terry Damselfly (which I've squished my parts on for 2 years now)
    Selle San Marco Aspide Arrowhead (fully pink saddle)
    Selle Italia Diva Genuine Gel (white or black with pink graphics)
    SMP - all of their saddles come in "Lady" version in white or black w/ pink graphics

    Any others you guys know of? A google search for pink cycling saddle never yields anything but the Damselfly, so I thought I was out of luck until I accidentally came upon these others. I figured if I accidentally found these, what others are there that I can find if I ask around?

    I noticed you had Selle San Marco Aspide Arrowhead, but the Selle San Marco Aspide Glamour also comes in Pink. I think it's just like an Arrowhead except no cutout. I have a Glamour in Black and another in White, but I've seen them in Pink also.

    Actually, the Glamour is the one I meant to list. It seems like I may have stumbled across an Arrowhead in pink, but now i can't find it and I'm not sure I ever did see it in pink. Can you tell me about the Glamour? My problem with the Damselfly is that it squishes my girly bits, even though it has a small cut out. The Mantra has very large cutout, which solves that problem. I was worried the Glamour might give me trouble in that area again, but thought I'd try it to be sure ... cause it's PINK and all.

    Like most saddles, there are mixed reviews on the Glamour. I personally love it so much, that when I upgraded from my Trek 2.3 which has a black Glamour to a Trek Madone, I bought a white Glamour. So, both my Treks have one!!

    It has a channel in it rather than a cutout. It's a solid saddle without any padding, and I find that I am able to get my sit bones squarely planted and my girly bits don't get pinched or squashed. I'm probably medium in size, not abnormally large or small... 140 pounds.

    I am not a racer or even a long distance rider, but I've spent 5 hours on the Glamour and although I may be tired, I don't have any soreness or hotspots in the saddle area.

    That said, it's less than $100, and you can probably get it from a place that has a return policy, so it's worth a shot.
