Ok..I'll bite...I'd definitely be looking wider than that one. You're not sitting on the flat bit--it is already rounding down which is going to put more pressure where pressure shouldn't be.
Go for a saddle where those pennies end up centered on the flat part.

I would start with a 155 (since you're looking at Spec' line), or generally something 150'ish. 143 sounds too narrow, and yeah, what you're riding is definitely too narrow for you.
The good news is that you're obviously sitting well far back on that saddle, and you haven't described any butt-crease issues, so the shape of it seems to be working well for you. It does look pretty T-shaped from the pictures, so Specialized saddles are probably a good place to start.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Thank you. I wasn't sure between the 155 and the 143 so that helps a lot. I would really like to try the Ruby, but couldn't find it in stock anywhere in the color I want, so in the meantime I'm trying the 155 mm Terry Butterfly Ti.
