Brooks or Selle An-Atomica?

[nscrbug]

Lind, did you mean your measurements were 143-150, or that's the width of the saddles the shops recommended for you (which would mean a measurement closer to 120)?

That is the width of saddles that the shops suggested to me, based on my measurements on each of their respective measuring devices. I fell in the "mid-range" category on both the Bontrager and Specialized butt measuring pads. The mid range for Specialized is 143mm and for Bontrager saddles, it is 150mm. I never did get an actual number out of either one of them...they just told me which size saddle would be best for me.

So...does that drastically change things for me? Should I still be looking at a standard B17, and not the B17N? Same goes for the Selle An-Atomica...wider Titanico, or narrower Robusto?

ETA - On a side note...while I really like the 6-month return policy of the Brooks at Wallbike.com, I much prefer the Selle An-Atomica because it is offered in white (my bike is white)...although the return policy for the SAA is only 30 days, which may not be enough time to get a good enough feel for it. Any comments on this?
