I've sort of given up on saddles for now
What I have now is decent and I have other expenses and priorities (bike fit, aah). I think I will wait for my fit (I think I will schedule it for March, sometime after my birthday) and ask them about it and possibly try some new ones.
I'm somewhat lucky and take a 130 so can also try most men's saddles
So I'm still on my Specialized Ariel. It's a "mountain" saddle but it was waaaay better than the stock saddle![]()

What I found is that a different saddle completely changes the way I sit on my bike. So there wouldn't have been a lot of point in getting a fitting and then changing out a saddle. YMMV
Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
You've foiled my fitting plan...I still need to check with the bike shop because they have a "fit guarantee." I am not sure about the details--if I change components if it voids the fit guarantee.
So Oakleaf, in your opinion, I should find a better saddle before my fitting instead of waiting until my fitting?Shoot me a PM
I actually accidentally cracked the bontrager carbon seatpost (too much torque. I am much more careful now) which I replaced with a Ritchey Carbon Pro
