    I've wanted to try an Adamo saddle since I've had issues with every saddle I've tried thus far. I'm currently dealing with my Terry Butterfly, though I still can't handle it past 30 miles a ride. My soft tissue is where I develop my issues, though I've never had any seatbone pain even after my longer rides.

    I ride horses, so I don't forsee any major issues with seatbone soreness.. but then, maybe I should try a Brooks saddle instead? I just hate the saddle search!

    I truly have no soft tissue problems with my Brooks saddle. I commute daily in jeans, and longer on the weekends in cycling shorts. Either way I am comfortable. There was a week or so where my sitbones were sore but that went away and has never come back. My saddle is still hard, but it has dents where my sit bones go. It's like my favorite pair of hiking boots. Shaped like me.

    Wow, I'm flattered for the blog post for my article!

    We have received a lot of great feedback, it seems that about 8 out of 10 folks (women and men) find that a version of the Adamo solves a lot of issues. I wouldn't say its a fix for all issues, and a great bike fit will be best to start this process.

    Now, ladies I need photos! Show us your bike with an Adamo.

    To see my pink Adamo saddle clearly, you need to buy one of these ... I'm Miss August...

    All for good causes, four charities. First-ever UK timetrialling charity calendar and it's turned out well and sold well too.

    http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/...howtopic=37849

    http://www.trybike.co.uk who are the UK distributors for Adamo saddles, kindly sponsored the production costs of the August page too. (we got a sponsor to cover costs for each page so that every £5 for a calendar sold could be split £1.25 to each charity).

    I greatly appreciate. My time for forum haunting is very limited. I get on here about once a week, so any reposting of my articles is always greatly appreciated. Plus it doesn't seem so much like spamming if someone else does it for me!

    Thanks again

    I had my LBS order an Adamo Road saddle for me. He's putting it on my bike tomorrow so I can try it on the shop's trainer for a while (it's in the 20s here, so I'm NOT riding outdoors). He's also (hopefully) fixing my bf's trainer, so I'll be able to put some miles on the saddle before the real riding season starts. I'm hoping it works for me!
