Yet another Saddle Thread :P

I'm pretty good at pelvic anatomy. I was confused because you talked about underwear line, which makes me think of the back side of the pelvis, not the front.

Ok, so you aren't feeling any pain at the panty line, you are feeling pain up near your vulva.

Well I was using the "panty line" description before I had the request to be more technical. haha. And I don't know how your underwear fit, but my panty line wraps all the way around my leg. But I can see the confusion. But no, not quite near my vulva... father back, just not quite where I should be feeling it. I did tilt my seat down as you suggested, which helped a little. Thanks.

Has "every pair of shorts you've tried on" had a very bulky chamois? Even though it seems most women are more comfortable in minimal chamois, for some reason few LBS stock them. You might try to find shorts with thin chamois - spinning shorts and triathlon shorts tend to also have very short legs, which aren't for everyone, but also very thin chamois.

I had a horrible time finding shorts that fit me properly actually. And I tried on some shorts that had varying levels of bulk. I only wear them for the padding, so if I can get away with no padding, I'll just wear some of my thin hiking shorts. Hopefully I can figure something out as I'm planning a big ride in a bit, and I think I might want some padding for it.

I thought the Ruby was T shaped. I also had issues when I first got mine. My fitter told me to give it a chance, you'll love it. He also told me not try long rides on it.

Yeah I'm not sure. I kind of thought so too.

Would the rest of you consider it a T shape? Which brings me back to part of my original question. Would you consider the Sella Italia SLR and the SLK more or less of a T shape than the Ruby? As well, the SLR is only a 155, which I find weird since that would rule out a lot of sales to a lot of women no?

And also, Is the "San Marco SKN Racing" geared toward women? The depression looks wider in the pictures, but they don't seem to have "women's" section on their site.


Thanks for all the input everybody.
