After spending more time in the saddle...

Sounds like a pre-softened Brooks. With a cut-out.

Hey Denise,

When you raised your saddle, did you adjust the fore/aft setting? Raising your saddle puts it back a little, because the seat tube is angled back.

Have someone recheck the position: your knee should be over the pedal spindle when the pedals are at the 3 o'clock position.

Hopefully a simple adjustment will get you back on the road as comfy as ever!

Bought this saddle months ago and have many miles on it. Just finished a century w it had NO problems,soreness,etc. I have been building mileage steadily and previous high time in the saddle was 5.5 hrs and the century took that to 7 hrs. I love this saddle but wonder if the anatomica could be better ....I'm thinking I should buy another one before they change the model or discontinue it or something. That always seems to happen with bras and shoes that fit! ya know?

It's not made by Selle. It's a different company entirely. There are "ads" up all over the place.

She's right, it's a completely different company in Wisconsin. Here's the website: www.mcmwin.com

Wish I could say enough good things about them. If you buy direct, tell them Pam sent you. They'll know exactly which model (mine is the Titanico LD, watershed leather) Don't recommend skimping and getting the regular leather. If not waterproofed correctly, it stretches out (as expected) and then you have to start over. Another cyclist did that and they still took it back! They're guaranteed, so you've really got nothing to lose if you're having ANY saddle issues.

Team Estrogen is supposed to be selling them shortly too, but not sure when.
