Thanks! The bikes are my pride and joy. I love them both so much, it's hard to decide which one to ride.

I had the saddles put on by the guy at my lbs who also has one, so he knew this saddle. As soon as I got on, it was ohhhhhh happiness! My old saddle was like a block, so this was profoundly better.

If you look closely at the pic of the brown one, you can see the tension bolt. It's almost all the way in still on both of them. I recently (like 3 months ago) tightened the red saddle by maybe 3 turns, and that over did it, and my sitbones were not happy. I loosened it again 2 turns, and still I needed to re-adjust. Now it's comfy again. The reason I added tension wasn't that I was uncomfortable, but that the cut-out was starting to overlap.

As sunken as mine look, I'm actually on my sitbones. Maybe that's the key--the slinging makes room for your anatomy? I put the question mark because I'm really not sure of why it works.

Let us know how the fitting goes. If this isn't your dream saddle, I hope you find the one!
