Ok, you guys.

Um, maybe it's a math error. Let me pour a glass of wine, take myself to dinner, smoke a cigarette and get out the tape measure. It will take a little bit, as I can't do this at work. Post later. I am also laughing at myself!

Maybe your measuring tape has the first decimal, and it was 85mm instead of 850mm???
Thank you Alpinerabbit for the longest laugh of the day - the baby giraffe thing cracked me up!

Okiedokie- after further measuring and investigation, I apparently pulled the wrong tape measure from the sewing box, the lights were dim, and I had just had a glass of wine, and only one contact was in place. Now, the correct measurement of my saddle sore hiney is 76.3mm. Not enough to pass a giraffe.

Anyway, is there is scale somewhere that tells me what saddle fits this measurement?

[Grog]

Hummmm...

Is it me or that's also odd?

[Tuckervill]

Yeah, don't we usually talk about like, 140 mm???

Thought a visual might help here. Most bike shops have this handy device and will let you sit your hiney on it for free to take the measurement. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...G5TYlAeYpJDHAw

I have heard of people using playdough or a bag of flour as well.

What the heck is wrong with me? I am feeling like a mutant. 6 inches is 152mm, correct? I just picked a random number and stuck it in a google converter.

Crap, lemme call an assistant. Now, this will be awkward...

That is one scary illustration. Reminds me of a chicken.

Of all the threads I've seen about measuring sit bones I find this one to be the most entertaining by far.
