Ooops, so no, the sitbones would not like the aspide carbon then

I guess the best bet is trying to find the model with the decal instead of the embossing...

Thanks. The only things I'm finding unlabeled are the FX or triath-gel... and the men's versions!

It's like an internet shopping challenge. Something to do while the olympics are on, I guess.

OK, I found this:

But it's $60 more? And it's not the Glamour, though I don't know the difference between the two...

i love mens saddles - work much better for me both in mountain and road versions - dont just write them off - see if you can test ride...

Nashbar.com is where I found the picture of the saddle minus patches. I think it was listed at $109, and they offer all three colors - black, white and pink.

Ah. I tried Nashbar, and that's the men's '08 saddle - and that's way too narrow. It appears they only have the women's in the '07 version. Drat.

No, the one in the picture is the Aspide Glamour - "Glamour" making it the women's not the men's.

From Nashbar.com: "Selle San Marco has a biomechanically optimal saddle for you. The Women's San Marco Aspide Glamour allows you to decide your size based on your weight and body type. Lorica cover and titanium rails. 190g."

Item No. » SM-ASPG

I was wrong in that the pink is not offered, just black or white.

Contact the manufacturer and tell them about how the raised seams are hurting you. I bet they'll offer to exchange it for a smooth model for free.

Found it! I totally got distracted because the men's is listed as the "'08" in the description, the women's wasn't... so I just assumed it was the old version...

WHOO!

Yea! I'm glad you found it.
