WOW! Hello everyone. I've been trying to decide if this was the place for me because a lot of people here are hardcore!! I like to bike and jog -- the biking for fun.. Jogging I hate, but I do it to stay in shape.
Sundial - I just have to say - I love your avatar! I also have a shepherd. She's 4 going on 6 months. She doesn't sit still long enough for me to get a pic of her!!! Her name is Sasha.
KnottedYet- I recognize your user name from my saddle search. I have pretty much decided on a Brooks 68. It's in my price range and from what I've read -- ALMOST all folks like them.
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

TE is very cool. (and TeamEstrogen.com is a great place to shop!)Last edited by KnottedYet; 07-17-2007 at 05:25 AM.

Hi, Chort!
I have to say I am completely inspired that you ride with MS. That rocks.
I am a fellow newbie... also not hardcore (yet.)
Tonight I go to the bike shop to saddle shop. I will let you know what I find...

I will let them identify themselves to you, but there are also others on TE who ride with MS... Originally Posted by indigoiis

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I am a newbie myself and have an introduction on the open cycling forum. I guess I should have put it here.
I've found a wealth of information here.

If you are not sure what size you are, a Specialized dealer can measure you by you sitting on a butt meter. There are saddles that are 130mm, 143mm, and 155mm.
