Why can't we get a light high performance saddle with long light rails that is wide enough in the back to support real women with wide sit bones?????? Is my body type really that odd?????????????????
I ride a brooks finesse with a very laid back seat post and a bike with a slack seat tube angle, which is the best compromise I have found. But if only someone would make my dream saddle............
I hear you and then some. If you can ride a Brooks Finesse then you have way narrower sit bones than I do! So where does that leave ME? I have long femurs and the only saddle wide enough for my sit bones is the Brooks B68 at 210mm wide. Thank God it is dreamily comfy for me. Why don't saddle makers accomodate women with wide sit bones??? I have lots of girlfriends with cute little boy-hips....but come ON, there are the rest of us too!

I could never get even my comfy B68 far enough back on my Rivendell to feel my center of gravity properly balanced. That was the biggest goal when I got my custom Luna made for me- to get my weight back and balanced. So now on my new bike I FINALLY feel like my B68 can be set back far enough for me to feel beautifully balanced on my bike. It's a total joy and relief.
