Thanks Cindyloo, I tried finding a diagram too but for some reason I couldn't.

I think this must be where I sit. My Fizik Arione is very, very comfortable to me, but I'm quite sure it's narrower than my sitbones. I've never measured them, but I'm a pear shape with a wide pelvis (even when I'm thin ), and I'm sure they're not on the narrow side. But I find this saddle more comfortable than wider ones I've tried, particularly wider saddles that have less of a smooth transition from nose to rear (if there's a pronounced flare I tend to "run into it"), and wider saddles that are less convex than the Arione from side to side. My bf has a 143mm Specialized Alias, which is both significantly wider and has a cutout, and it's much less comfortable to me. This has puzzled me for a while, but maybe this explains it. The Arione must be the perfect shape for my rami !
