Thanks again for the rec, Sadie.
Oh, good, slinkedog. I'm glad the really delicate parts are happy. For me, that is the most important. This is not a cushy soft pillow of a saddle, but I find that I do best with this for long rides. The firmer support with the anatomic cut means I don't get pressure in the wrong spots as stuff squishes around inside the saddle. Sit bones are trainable; delicate parts are not.

Bounceswoosh, the website says 7 in wide by 10.2 which was confirmed with my trusty tape measure.

Just ground up Mt Diablo with V and Bubba and not a single twinge - 12 miles of grinding in the same *** gear and position all the way.
