Needing Some Saddle Advice

[GeoCam]

Sorry, I was out of town for a couple of days.

Thanks so much for the ideas. You got me looking closely at the Selle saddles, and there is one that seems to be very similar to my old Fuji saddle - the Selle Rolls. Having said that, I must admit that I am not sure about this one because it seems, well, so clunky looking (just like my old saddle LOL!).

I really do like the looks of the Fizik Vitesse much better and it seems close enough to what I have now that I think it is worth a shot. I'm going to start watching for a used one first as I just can't pay full price for these things as I experiment.

This forum is so generous with advice - thanks again!

what kind of bike is this going on? My experience with the butterfly is that it is only good on low positions. My Liberator is better for a level handlebar saddle position.

I was going to suggest the Vitesse, as well -- you might keep a watch on eBay for discontinued models. I bought a new one about a month ago for about $35. That was a hell of a deal, but you should be able to find one pretty cheap.

The Terry chafes the inside of my legs and my butt because it is too wide.

My position is about level. It "seems" like if I were in a lower position, the Butterfly would be even worse since I felt such pressure at the front part of the saddle. But as I said in the OP, I am really ignorant about the reasons why certain saddles do well and others don't, so I could be wrong about that. The Liberator is about the same size and does have a raised "perch" - for now I am almost afraid to try another cut-out saddle, though.
