Selle San Marco Aspide Glamour??

[Mimosa]

Well I made a deal with trekhawk for the glamour racegel saddle (thanks again trekhawk) and it's now on my bike for a week.

This weekend I drove about 160km (in total) on it and I like it so far. It's really different from my previous SSM Era K. The saddle keeps me firm into position and my hips are more supported/stable. I think I can get an even beter result if I move the saddle some but that I will try out in time.
As bluerider already mentioned, the saddle is firm (not much padding) so you are bound to get some saddle sores after a long time in the saddle. But when you get off the bike the sorenes is gone instantly.

And it is even more beautifull in real-life then on the pixies. It's a shame that ssm will no longer make them

Well, after about four or five years of using the Aspide Glamour, I need another saddle.

I loved the it, and got a lot of great road miles out of it. If anybody has liked this one, could you recommend another one out there that you like? For me, the padding was great, and my sit bones lined up perfectly with the Aspide. I might just get another one, but breaking the saddle rails sure doesn't help a girls' confidence out.

Thanks for any suggestions you have!

I have an Aspide Glamour that was not comfortable for me. Used once. If you want to buy it, PM me.

If not, the widest Bontrager Affinity WSD is almost exactly the same size and shape as the Aspide Glamour. The RXL version is probably closest to in it terms of padding (the RL and R are more padded).

I just sold both of mine on ebay, +1 on the Affinity, I sold my SSM because of a little too much crotch pressure. The affinity is almost exact except for a little more dent. There is also a money back guarantee from Bontrager.

Can anyone provide ACTUAL measurements of the Glamour Aspide Arrowhead? I've been looking online - eBay, and other assorted sites, and have been seeing conflicting numbers. I've seen everything from 145 - 155mm. So which is it, exactly? And if anyone knows...what is the difference between the Aspide Arrowhead and Aspide Arrowhead K? Thanks!

Crap...I hope the one I won off of eBay really is 155!

Does anybody have sitbones ~150mm and ride a Glamour Aspide? The Arrowhead version? I'm having a LOT of trouble finding a saddle wide enough that isn't padded like a BarcaLounger. I'm way out in the back 40, and the LBS's (while great people) have a very narrow selection, especially in the "I'm dead serious, and yes, I'm a woman" department. I don't think the Specialized Dolce or the Bontrager Nebula are going to work (too padded). I'm doing 80-100mi rides on weekends, and 30+mi rides during the week.
