    I love my SI Lady Gel Flo also...however, I have developed a mean saddle sore right on the crease between my leg and crotch area on the left side. It's probably related to the way I sit on the saddle since my accident in '05 in which I fractured both the bones on the lower right side of my pelvis (pubic rami and ...?) I can't blame the saddle; it's really comfy, supports my sit bones perfectly, and so long as I pay attention while riding, I can keep the saddle sore from bothering me too much. But I really do want it to GO AWAY.

    Glad it's working for you! 60 miles is indeed a good test!

    Woo hoo happy dance! Finding the ONE is the most awesome thing! My suggestion, buy another and stash it away against the day the company changes the saddle. It's like death and taxes, you find IT only to find you can't get any more. I've got my favorite saddle on all 4 of my bikes, and an extra tucked in a drawer.

    I intend on doing this - but it will have to wait until after my move this fall. I just went for my third ride in three days (100 miles total) and still NO discomfort, swelling, pain, numbness, nothing

    The saddle is still wonderful! Occasionally I seem to land on it a little sideways and things hit the edge of the cutout instead of in the cutout. This is a fit issue though - it happens rarely and I just shift myself into the right position. I have an appointment to get that addressed. Have put several hundred miles on this saddle and it is still totally discomfort and pain free. It is indeed, THE saddle for me

    That is so great Catrin! I am intrigued. Maybe I need to try that saddle out as well
    I'm not so lean and mean, but I am large and in charge!
