Great resource options suggested by Knott. I'm in London too and her post got me thinking -

See if you can get an interview with cycling specialists at Balance Performance Physiotherapy (www.balancephysio.com). They're a short walk from North Clapham tube station.

Another source of info might be Cyclefit in Covent Garden (www.cyclefit.co.uk). They're highly recommended amongst both men and women. Contact points have got to be major factors in what they do.

Cadavers... I'll leave it to you to sort out a source/access.

I went to one seminar about spinal anatomy where the lecturer had cadaver pieces. I learned an INCREDIBLE amount, just unbelievably more than I'd ever been able to understand from photographs or drawings. Even though I was still essentially looking at a two-dimensional image on the overhead projector, the fact that the lecturer could manipulate the chunks in three dimensions was ENORMOUSLY instructive.

I sat in the back of the lecture hall with probably 300+ people between me and the overhead projector. That was as close as I wanted to be to the trays full of vertebrae, ligaments, nerves and muscles.

But anyway, as someone coming from a profession where a knowledge of anatomy is secondary, I heartily second the recommendation.

Yes, Knott is very wise.

+a milliion!

Is this a study of someone who died of saddle pain from a Bontrager? "if only she had ridden a Brooks "

I know there must be women who've had to have 130 mm saddles surgically extracted from their nether parts.
