I'm another San Marco Aspide Glamour fan. Best thing so far, by far. Previously used a Butterfly (way to wide in the nose) and Zero X (not T-shaped enough).

I do notice the Aspide Glamour Arrowhead (not the Arrowhead K Gel) looks to be the same shape AND it has a cut-out.

+1 for this saddle

I wish the channel was a little deeper, but it's definitely better than others I've tried (several terrys, specialized jett and toupe, fizik arione, selle an-atomica, brooks, etc...)

As a side note, I still highly recommend the Brooks if you're on a more upright bike. I'm set up with a 3-4 inch drop from my saddle to my bars, so the Brooks was comfy if I sat up with my hands on the tops, but would crush my soft tissue otherwise. If you order one, check out Wallbike. They have a 6 month return policy. I didn't return mine since I plan to build a more upright touring/commuting bike someday.

That San Marco is a nice looking saddle. Now if only it were about 3 cm wider... sigh.

Or better yet, 4 or 5.

Hate to tell ya, but no one on this forum can recommend the right saddle for you. It's all trial and error. Me, I couldn't stand the Glamour Aspide...but I like the WTB Deva. So, I would recommend the Deva based on my sitbones and sitting position.

For you, I would strongly suggest finding a shop that has a saddle demo program, preferable one with a few different lines. Call around and see if there is one close to you. We offer it at our store and it saves customers a lot of money and frusteration. Trial and error is the best way to find the right saddle.

Good luck on the long and sometimes agonizing search!

Just picked up a Specialized Jett. Fingers crossed...

[PinkBike]

if the jett doesnt work out, you might take veronica up on her offer of the butterfly. if you liked the firefly i thought the only difference with the butterfly was it was wider at the sit bones?
but hopefully the jett will do it. is it 155?

[ninerfan]

Yup, 155. I think the butterfly doesn't have a quick enough transition to the nose for me. Gotta have the T.
