You got it girl! I think this will be the world wide travel saddle. I will keep you posted.

It bit me! After struggling a two hour ride on Friday, I went back to the bike shop for some tweaking. I could not find any comfy spots on this saddle and it killed me, the whole ride. The boys at my LBS agreed that measuring 150, my seat bones were sliding down and I am still riding on my crotch. Took a look around and am trying the new 2010 Specialized Avatar comp gel. It has a lot flatter appearance and still gel padding and a nice cutout, at 155 my options are limited. Took the avatar out for an hour Sunday, it is a lot flatter than the max flite but I feel supported. Will be giving it a longer ride this week. I also have a tried and true back up on the way. The SSM glamour aspide with the cutout, $60 online. I had one before and loved it for a while. Its a good back up. Just when I thought I found the ONE. My next step is just getting a DIVA and having it over with.

I keep trying different saddles too. And gong back to old "favorites", just to re-learn they sometimes aren't as good as I remembered them.

I'm considering keeping and extra seat post and alternating between two (or even three!) saddles as the mood strikes me. That way if (say) my Glamour starts to feel a bit hard after a few rides I can quickly change to the Jett; if it beats up my sit bones too much I can switch to the InForm RL. Saddle-of-the-week club!

What do you think?
