    Nah, it's on the hardtail. Am tempted to try it out on the roadie though because the one that is on there (an Atola) is alright on the hills but rather so-so on the flat.

    Zube - I checked it out and its definitely the SLT version.

    DD - looks like it would work well on a road bike. If you decide to give it a whirl on your roadie let me know how it works for you. I had the Atola on both of my road bikes but lately have been trying another saddle on one to see how that works. Funnily enough SK recommended the new road one too. Hee hee where would I be without SK.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    Thanks for the posts, DirtDiva & TrekHawk!

    I have called my fav bike shop and they have several WTB demos, one is the Laser V Team...don't know the others. So Friday I'll stop by and try one for the weekend.

    DirtDiva, I appreciate the info regarding WTB seat width. My current saddle is irritatingly wide in back. I just sit back as far as I can on downhills because I can't quickly scoot off. Terrible.

    Again, thanks both of you for taking the time to respond! Happy Trails!

    Have you considered Specialized? Their saddles are designed for different size butt/skeletons. You measure your butt bones at the shop, and they size you accordingly. This has nothing to do with your clothing size. I've got several of the avatar gel ( NOT a big cushy gel saddle) and I love them. I find many of the womens' saddles, even the MTB specific ones, too wide but these are great.
