Okay, I tried it this morning. Only had time for a quick 10 mile but my initial reaction for the first two miles was it was going to be the one. The padding in the back is good, I usually ride a Selle Italia Lady gel flow with the cutout. I agree with Alimey, the cutout looks bigger in the pictures than it actually is. I didn't notice it at all which I take as a good thing. I tend to ride on the tops and the hoods but my Privates started to hurt at about mile five. This may be just saddle tweaking. I think I need to lower the nose a bit and maybe adjust fore and aft. I had no chafing and my thighs are burly. The jury is still out for me. I need to do the tweaking and see. I have the black one and it looks pretty sharp on my purple Orbea Dama.
