I'm just not ready to give up on Specialized yet LOL need to try a 130 first, though I'm not sure about that Butt-o-meter thingy

thanks again

I have just the regular, basic Phenom saddle. But I've been lusting over the Phenom Team version...in black, that baby would match my bike perfectly. Although, that Romin saddle has now caught my attention, as well. I like the "split" design of it...something I was contemplating on testing out with the SI SLK Lady Gel Flow. My Phenom is the 143 size. Did the whole butt-o-meter thing at the dealer, and that is the size I was told to go with. I also did the Bontrager version of the butt-o-meter, and was basically told the same thing...that I fell "in the middle" sizing category. The Selle Italia Prolink Gel Flow that I got for Christmas is a 144, so only a negligible difference. My riding style...hmmm, that one is hard to pinpoint. I'm kind of "all over the place" with my riding style...LOL I have some clipon aerobars on my bike, so I can vary my positions more. I would say I spend about 3/4 of the time upright...and the rest in either aero or drops. Hope that helps!
