about saddles my bike builder told me.
Get a men's saddle, period. He talked me into getting a men's version of the Terry "Fly" saddle I really, really, really wanted for my bike as I had one on my other bike and loved it.
Reluctantly I got the one he suggested and after the initial break-in period I found it to be absolutely the most comfortable saddle ever! The one he suggested is the Terry Liberator Ti-Race MEN'S saddle.
So my point as well as his is don't be afraid to try the men's fit sometimes it's the best fit. Those darn men seem to know stuff about stuff and what do I know, eh?

Still, I'd take women riders' saddle recommendations over a man's any day. I don't care how many bikes he's built- he still has a man's rear end. Let him ride 1000 miles on my butt before he suggests a saddle to me.
(did I really say that?) lol!
