Saddle comparison - Aspide Glamour with ?

[jillaroo]

I recently switched from the Selle Italia Terrazzo Lady Gel to the San Marco Aspide Glamour. It was time for a more lightweight "racing" saddle. I've put about 200 miles on it, and so far seems OK, except for soreness on the seat bones after about 20 miles - there's not much cushion there.....At least there is no numbness or soreness in the tender areas! I have not tried the Terry Butterfly Ti -- it is a little heavier, but is that more comparable to the Terrazzo than to the Glamour? I just found out about the Buttlerfly, and it seems like a comfortable saddle - but do you think it is more for Centurys/touring than for racing/training? I put the Terrazzo on my mountain bike - love it there!
Just wanted to hear some feedback to learn more about saddles / comfort / racing / etc.
Thanks to all......

You should read the copious Saddle threads under "Gear & Accessories".

Got it. Thanks - I posted over there. Hopefully will get some of my questions answered, and I will catch up on the reading.....

i had that SM Aspide Glamour and sent it back. my sit bones never got better. the terry damselfly is the same dimentions that the Aspide Glamour is and has a bit more padding for the sit bones. i just got my damselfly last week and so far i love it.

hey chickwhorips did your saddle have a cut out?? I thought I remember seeing a picture of yours and it had a cut out.

The Blackwell Flow Cut Down Saddle. I have searched high and low-been
through 5 different saddles. This one seems to do the trick. Check the sitbone width, it's 5 inch, a little narrow but fits me well and no problem with the sitbones being sore after the bike rides. The BEST part is no
chafing! Yeah, especially after doing RAGBRAI this year and the chafing started the 2nd day-thought I was in hell (chafing, heat, lots of hill, sleep deprevation not a good combination!)

I've done a couple of 25 mile rides and one 60 mile ride with a heat index of
101 and everything seems to be working well.

I realize this is very individual but I've finally found an answer to my
prayers.

Geana in Memphis

(as I told one guy on the RAGBRAI trip-southern women don't sweat, they glisten and what they call hill we call mountains-note Memphis,TN is very flat!)
