Luv my Selle An-Atomica

[SadieKate]

. . . so if you have wide hipbones i'm not sure it would work.

I think of my hip bones as those wanna-be protrusions just below my waist on the front of me and to the side, as in 'Simon says, "place your hands on your hips." I rarely sit on on them nor the hip socket portion of the pelvis.

SIT BONES!! DUH!! sorry. I meant sitting bones, ischial tuberosities, not the hip handle bones up there!!

I emailed the selle an-atomica people about which one I should try out. I'm on saddle #5 right now since I got my bike back in July, and I'm still having issues with groin cysts and other miscomforts

Let me know what they say , if my Brooks doesnt work out I may try that one. I am concerned about the cut out as it looks like it has a painful edge.
I love the way the Brooks feels ,but Im wondering why I can make a indentation (maybe the saddle is to narrow for me???

One of the things I really like about my Brooks B67 is that it "flexes independently on each half" like the An-Atomica proudly proclaims.

Something to be said for springs, eh? Yeah, sure, the racer-boys sneer at our sprung saddles, but we don't have eh-ehm *functional* issues later in the evening.

SuzieQ- why do you think the Brooks isn't working out? You love the way it feels.... so it's good! Just cuz you don't see indentations doesn't mean anything. Indentations are not the holy grail. Comfort is!

I rode about 140 miles on it last week ,and each day I was surprised it didn't hurt my crotch. I was getting pressure ,but never chaffing. I also was trying to do what you said ( pelvis pulled in),my core muscles are the weakest part of me. My butt is staying in one place ,so I thought I would make some kind of indentation? Oh well ,maybe I'm riding the nose of the saddle. I tend to do that. I had to make the nose totally level. I guess I shouldn't complain if my poor crotch doesn't hurt. I have the saddle all the way back. Really not much difference between forward ,and aft on the Brooks.

I got an email back asking for my height & weight, and since then, every time I try to respond, my response keep getting returned because "the mailbox is unavailable."
I'm gonna try one more time, then I'm just going to call and talk to someone.
