Another SSM Aspide Glamour fan.

The saddle is shaped so it's nice and wide at the back and then very quickly narrows down to a narrow nose. The advantage of the wide rear is that my sitz bones are firmly supported and my more sensitive areas are not mashed into the nose of the saddle. And they're not pinched like they can be with cut-out saddles (I've previously used a Terry Butterfly and before the AG, a Terry Zero X).

Because the saddle narrows so quickly, it has totally eliminated the rubbing I got on the top/inside of my thighs.

Even going from a rather minimalist saddle like the Zero X, I did **at first** think, oh no this saddle is really hard and going to be uncomfortable. The saddle just disappeared beneath me, though, never rearing its ugly head the way the Zero X did around mile 40. Since getting the saddle I have never once (for 60+ mile rides) gotten to the point where I've felt like my saddle was painful and killing me.

I wish I could say the same for my shoes/pedals...
