Selle San Marco Aspide Glamour

[berkeley]

I have both the aspide and the FX.

The FX has a TAD more padding, and less of a channel (not that significant).

I find I'm a little more supported on the Aspide, but the FX is a little gentler on the sitbones.

I'm actually planning on selling the aspide, if someone's interested in trying it! It's brand spankin new.

See my post under "Adventure Stories" for a real test of the Glamour. I did my first-ever tour last week and had zero saddle issues. It was great to be one of the most comfortable riders on the tour - credit also goes to my Sugoi RS shorts which have the best chamois I've ever tried. No bunching! The best saddle in the world can't help you if your shorts are bunching.

Big thumbs up to the Selle San Marco Glamour saddle! Saddles with cutouts and extra padding just didn't work for me. I went to the Glamour and a minimal chamois and haven't had any saddle soreness since. I'm a relatively newbie. At first, I thought maybe I needed "more" protection and padding. But in this case, "less" is actually better. I've had the Glamour for a year now and wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'm kinda medium sized-- certainly not skinny, but not over-weight either. Not sure how this saddle would work for other anatomies, but it sure works for mine.
