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).
