Long time lurker, first time postin'.
So, with utter joy, my Italia LDY is scheduled to be doused with lighter fluid and set ablaze at the next full moon. She causes me more pain than sitting on nails and I'll be elated to see her go!![]()
Thus, research for a new saddle has begun! Been reading through the forums here, and wanna try a Brooks. My problem is deciding which size best suits me. Called Wallingford, and unforunately the gal who answered the phone was not of help. She merely suggested any women's model on their site, and that's all the info I was given. Here's what I told her, and maybe all y'all Brooks Pros can help:
Sit bones: 140 mm / 5.5 inches, outside edge to outside edge
Saddle is level with handlebars
Rarely in the drops
5' 7", 138 lbs.
I tend to ride anywhere from a short few miles on up to 70 miles when I'm feelin' spunky. Also I'll toss my bike on the trainer.
FWIW, my mountain bike has a stock WTB Speed V, 142 mm x 265 mm and my bum & bits don't complain. My evil Italia LDY is 160 x 265 with a cutout and my bits are on fire and inner thighs go a little numb, regardless of endless tweaks, tilts and other adjustments. Did I mention it's evil?
