Terry Butterfly

[veloputt]

To throw my two cents in--I once had a Terry Liberator racing saddle years and years ago that I liked (though I sold it with the bike), then stopped riding for a few years, got back to the riding my other road bike, with another Terry Liberator saddle--had the cut-out, but didn't like it. Then I tried the Terry Butterfly racing version. I had been commuting 17 miles each way to work, a few times week, and after a few days using this saddle and icing my tender bits when I'd get home , I had to find something else. (And I have great PI shorts and tried different positions). After some research, I invested in the Fizik Alliente--though it's the men's version, I absolutely love it! It's so much easier to sit back on the bones w/ the flex wing design, I am able to keep the pressure off the sensitive bits that the Terry cut-outs only seemed to aggravate! Bellisimo!

Just for the record: it's the Fizik Arione that I own and love--w/ the flex "wings"--not the Alliente...

Geez, I can't get thru the fi'zi:k website without hearing a bad Italian-American accent as I read thru

I have a butterfly and really like it alot. It has never made me sore. However, I must admit that I have never ridden more than 65 miles at one time. Wish I could say the same about my feet!

I've been going thru a ton of saddles to try to find something that works ~ and last night DH brought home the Butterfly... because the shop owner said it was what he sells to all the girls. Someone must love it - but OW! I will make an adjustment and give it one more (short) try, but if I stand after a short ride only to feel the blood rush back to that region? No Go.

Oh - and DH is a little frustrated that he wasn't able to swoop in & solve the problem... I don't think guys get how particular this issue can be.

YEsterday i almost got into it with one of my coworkers who started giving me
sh## about my brooks saddle being so heavy. I work with all men who all seem to ride on little bar-shaped saddles.
I finally had to say; "let's not go there" because it's bad enough talking about girly parts and the nether regions with the SO but to have to talk about it
to a bunch of numbnuts (literally!) that you work with; I guess they're just going to have to think I'm a little goofy because i have that big heavy saddle on my slick new road bike.
