So I am looking into another saddle, I want to keep it with SSM since the quality of the product is (tmho) great. After looking through the SSM catalogue I am faced with the choice between the Aspide Glamour Race Gel and the Atola Gelaround. The first is much more racing looking then the last one, and I am going to be riding the elite womens races next year. And the second one looks comfortable to the tender parts (so I gather since I have never used a saddle with an opening)

I don't want a too soft saddle but rockhard is neither a good option (that hurts, I know now). I dont have wide sit bones so the saddle doesn't need to be wide (that's why my first option was the era k).

I saw this posting when looking for reviews on the internet and I just wanted to know if you girls (the ones that purchased one of these saddles) have had major problems/preferences.
Hi
I have tried both of these saddles and Im sticking with the Atola it works the best for me. I used the Aspide Glamour Gel for one ride and found it too wide at the back for me otherwise it was a comfy saddle. I have the Aspide posted for sale here if you decide to go that way.
