Ruby vs Toupe?

[nscrbug]

Hi Linda.. thank you so much for the info. Seems I was falling for the 'visual difference' I saw online.... doubt there's as much of a difference as I thought. I did see a regular Phenom and an SL yesterday... identical looking!

LBS was less than helpful, as usual. Didn't have anything I could 'try'. I'm honestly not all that sure about a 130, which is why I didn't want to just buy one. I suspect I'd know pretty quickly if it's too small LOL

I like the Romin as well... wish I could see one for real as I do worry about the edges of the channel. They look pretty sharp and I've been bitten before. Haven't seen any reviews by women either, though it's all so subjective. I did read that one should consider ordering the next size up than usual but again, I'm sure it's individual

sigh... saddle hell... too, too familiar!

did you ever try that SI SLK Lady Gel Flow? how did you like the Prolink Gel Flow?

thanks again

Have not tried the SLK Lady Gel Flow just yet. But it is on my "prospective" list, if the Prolink or Phenom don't work out. The Prolink is actually mounted on my bike now...but I haven't gotten a chance to ride it yet (too snowy/icy/cold here). I'm hoping by March, the days will start getting a bit milder. If I recall from last year, my first ride was on March 30th...so hoping to get out sooner this year. Although, I may just have my hubby throw my bike on the trainer this weekend so I can get a feel for it now.

I had planned on going there, but am lucky to have a local guy who does alot of fits for a tri trainer. He tweaked my height and took a riser out of the stem. Once I installed the wedges I found nirvana. I just went to my LBS looking for a cheap mountain bike saddle, looked at the romin. Uhhh, REALLY HARD, harder than the ruby and toupe. I might get an alias for the bike, maybe...
