I know a lot of people scoff at the Terry Cite X as lame or a beginners saddle, but for a hybrid I find it to be one of the most comfy saddles out there...your butt may or may not agree.

Oh no! That's too bad. DH is actually thinking of buying one. Our LBS lended one for him to try on his old bike while they're getting his new one set up. He LOVES the saddle! Now I wonder if he should get it. It's too bad. I rode on it for a bit too and it seems to be really comfy, a bit strange perhaps since it was almost too "bouncy".
Do you think you'll go with Brooks now?

That's pretty much what I've heard about them. Great at first but you can't tension them like a Brooks.

Not true for all. We have them on all our bikes and love them, although on 100+ mile rides, they start to hurt--but I haven't yet met the saddle that didn't at that stage. I find Selle As incredibly comfortable.

Hey Geonz,
If you want to get rid of your old Selle Anatomica, would you please PM me?
I would be interested in it.
Thanks,
Lynette

I agree it's very much a personal preference. I have been struggling for a year with my Selle Anatomica and my last ride was just miserable. I'm starting to think it's too long for me. With my sitbones where they should be the inside of my legs always feel bruised when I'm done. Then again, maybe my legs are too fat
I don't know. I seriously wonder why I changed from the Specialized Dolce I used on this bike for a century that I had no problem with
(I though I deserved an upgrade, lol).

It hits me in the right places -- and it was fine for those first 2000 miles. I think it's broken *down* instead of broken in, especially given the nature of the ouch... tho' I'm also thinking I should get an egg crate thingy for my mattress and do some core exercises...
