Owie!!!! Really? That hurts just thinking about it--brings back memories of that original ill-fitting saddle that taught me what it feels like when you ride a saddle that is too narrow. OK, I suppose maybe if they got the angle completely right, but it would definitely need a great cutout...and, just why would I trust them to get all of it right?

But, I digress, thank you very much, Knot, for your explanations. I'm in a forever loop of looking for the right saddle. You've armed me (?saddled me?) with more information as I continue my quest. Always informative and helpful. Thanks.

Any mechanical engineers out there? Perhaps the custom saddle business is prime for the pickin's?
