    There is a company that makes custom saddles in just that way.

    They are carbon fiber, custom molded, and I don't remember how much they cost... but I do remember that they were not cheap.

    I can't do a search at the moment, but if someone wants to throw the details at Google, they can probably find it easily.

    $575 unpadded, $10 or $20 extra for padding.

    $385/$395 for off-the-shelf saddles based on "the average of all the custom saddles we have created" [which sounds like an automatic torture device to me].

    We've obviously talked about this before - since the link showed I'd clicked on it recently. If I had a longer attention span I might have a better memory, too.

    One thing their website doesn't feature is testimonials. Not that I put a lot of stock in those anyway, but I think before I'd drop close to $600 on something non-returnable and non-resellable, I'd want to know if other people liked theirs...


    Wait, I've got a slogan for them. "The price of three Brooks, the weight of a third of one."

    There's also Cedesius custom saddles:

    Their Design Science section of their web site clearly isn't written by a scientist, but on many points it sounds like they "get it".

    I know it sounds nit-picky, but I have a hard time being impressed by a website that has a spelling or punctuation error in nearly every sentence. If they pay so little attention to detail in their marketing materials, why should I believe they give any attention to detail in their product?

    From the first paragraph: And along with it's own research done with custom molding, this knowledge is used to create a superior anatomical fit to maximize comfort, health concerns, and performance.

    I'd love to do a poll to find out how many people first discovered TE when searching for information on saddles/woman-specific saddle issues or bike fit.

    Good idea for a thread. "How did you find TE?". I don't remember

    I was googling around looking for an ibex shak hoodie - I ran across the wool weenies thread and did the ... okay I love wool, but holy crap 60 pages of wool?

    I forgot about the forum, then a year or so later I started biking and ended up here looking for saddle help. Or maybe wrist help. I'm pretty sure it was saddles. This time I stayed I guess I could go back and try to figure out what the first thread I posted in was.
