Sitz Bones "parts"

[Miranda]

Thx for the help thus far...

Well, crud...

I think all 5 of the saddles are too narrow. I ordered: Specialized Ruby & Jett 155mm, Terry's Butterfly, Zero, Falcon.

I did measure myself pre-buy per TE instructions in some Pilsbury pie crust dough on a step stool. Got measured at 2 lbs, one in Bontrager's color seat thingy, and Specialized butt-o-meter. I was 140mm dead center sitz bones in the Specialized seat. They said I could go with a 143 or 155, but encouraged the 143. I thought better of the 143 as the saddle sides slope slightly, and narrows it (and as I read on TE).

Once there was a thread about who we liked on TE and why. I didn't reply as I could not say one person. My answer would be all. No one has ever made me feel dumb or ashmed with anything. So, here's some sorta gross-ish info and where I think the saddles hit...

I got in the buff in front of the full length mirror and did my best impression of the circus flexy girl bending over. The red pressure marks I saw were parallel across from about where a lady gets a 3rd degree (all the way thru) tear repair towards the back of the vaginal opening if you had a really big baby. My 'little' darlings were both pushing 10 pounds. Glad the docs don't charge by the stitch. Anyrate... that is just barely inside that bell shaped curve I believe. When I pressed on the bones from the red marks backwards, I think the proper spot is slightly behind it.

I did order and send back a Titanico without riding it (not off TE). It was wide, but the color was defective. They didn't want to take it back (even after seeing the defect in pics emailed of how it arrived). When I insisited that I was not happy with trying to break in a defective saddle, that man had a little tantrum and told me to take my business elsewhere. I really wanted to tell him some other things, but I held my tounge in fear of not getting my money back.

So, guess I'll go back through some wide sitz bones threads and look again. Sorry for the rambling... I'm just getting depressed about the saddle hunt *sigh*.
