    My sits are 170-180mm wide. (depending how forward tilted or "aero" I am)

    No kidding.

    I work in pelvic rehab, I am friends with many sit bones. Mine are not terribly unusual.

    Got to have a nice talk with a very popular brand division head for road bikes this week at a seminar in San Francisco: their widest women's performance saddle isn't even going to be as wide as my sits, let alone give me 1-2 cm wiggle room to each side. Their idea is that women should be sitting on the rami, not the sit bones. Ummm, lets talk about soft tissue damage, shall we? (pelvic rehab training will scare you right out of the idea of weightbearing on your rami, if you can possibly help it!)

    I'll be sticking with my 210mm wide Brooks B67.
