Brooks B17 "N" or Selle An-atomica

[KnottedYet]

I guess you are faced with giving the Brooks back to Miz Cakes (it didn't bother you in the upright position, right?) and seeking out a cut-out saddle for Merqueri.

Trek420 has a Selle Italia on Menace that she really likes. Her 3 year old saddle is only now starting to wear out, even after all those ALC rides. It's not too padded/not too firm. Of course, it is WAAAAAAAY too small for me, but it seemed like a nice saddle.

I have a Serfas Niva (the one I was riding on the TE to Redhook ride) that I'd be happy to send you when my 2nd Brooks arrives.

And Quillfred has my old Fizik. She's not using it. Maybe she could send it to you? Or maybe I could get it back from her and send it with the Serfas. It doesn't have a cut-out, so I don't know if it would be an improvement, but it might help.

I've also got the Velo Plush that came on my Kona Smoke. It's a surprisingly decent saddle. Long narrow nose with a groove. No cut out, but also no support under the groove. (like the nose has a cut out, but the cushion and cover are over it) The plastic undercarriage is cut away. Decent width at the sit-bones. It's a bit more pear-shaped. I could send that, too.
