    Keep in mind that even if you are a wispy one, your sit bones may not be whispering width apart. I'm kind of a scrawny girl, but it's a long distance call between my ischeal tuberosities.

    I don't know how much lighter it is.... the Selle Anatomica is less beefy (literally I s'pose!!) than the Brooks. It also has a cut out to compensate a bit for a more forward position.

    But it is essentailly a Brooks that is slimmer and has a cut out.

    I think it looks flimsy on a hybrid where a Brooks would look better...so maybe there's a clue.

    He has a 30 day guarantee. Check it out: http://www.selleanatomica.com/

    Be sure to watch this film, which I think is a riot...turn the sound on...

    I had a negative experience with them on the return policy. It still upsets me very much. I've thought about posting a thread about it, but in short, the policy is not risk free as it seems... buyer beware.

    This is what I was thinking, too. I'm the opposite of you - build extremely solidly. I will NOT blow away, even in a stiff wind. I have narrow sit bones and cannot stand saddles of any width. All of the saddles I ride are 'men's' saddles. The weight of your body has little to do with the width of your sit bones!

    My H and I have the same sit bone width measurement and he rides a B17 on all his bikes. He LOVES it and I hope you do as well!
