And another for the Specialized Jett. I just built myself a fixie & wanted a white saddle - so I bought the Selle Italia as it has suited me in the past (& you can't get a Jett in white in the UK). I also felt that the Jett might be a bit hard on the bum bones on a fixie. Sooo - I was wrong - the Selle Italia is hard on my front parts - the hole just isn't large enough or in the right place. The Jett's the one for me. Now I have to visit the US this summer just so I can buy the white version (or rather, 3 of the white version).
80% of our business is bike fitting & so far no one has loved the feel of my Jett - I think they are scared by how hard it feels. But on the road it is so comfy & just sits in the crease at the top of my legs without causing any chafing. I am about 5'1" & a size 4 (US) - but I take the widest one. I tried the narrower one for ages because I though it looked nicer (shallow, moi?) But basically went back to the 155mm - I do wonder if some people might need an even wider one. I think it's a bit odd that Specialized do the same widths in women's & mens' saddles.
