    Summary of my SMP testing experience... just wanted to put this under the right topic.
    add another thumbs up to the Glider model which I have now tested for 2x100 K's and then some - it's a keeper.

    re: sweet spot, there are several. Comfort depends on how the saddle is adjusted. This means the lowest pt of the curve needs to be level.
    The result is two good seating positions for when you're gripping the top bar - one entirely on the seat bones (ischial tuberosities) and one more on the pelvic bone in front of them - which gives a rest to the main ischial tuberosities that do take a lot of load.

    For the drop or aero position there's only one but it is entirely discomfort-free.

    Somebody in a review on the www mentioned the stitching on the leather chafes the shorts (NOT the body) and it's probably true.

    I also tested the composit - rock hard but there are people who live with that and are fine, and the evolution - too narrow for me.

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
