So I ended up getting her a Colnago Master X Light w/ Campy Record 9sp.. She seems to love it yet the the saddle is a bit rough ! ( & I need another stem )
Any other suggestions ? Currently using a Terry Butterfly yet, haven't measured her sitbones yet.. not too familiar w/ women specific saddles.
Any brands/models I can look at with a wide-range of widths ?

Yep. That's what I've found to cause my tushie the least amount of anger.

BTW...f/64, do you use large-format cameras? I miss mine...I sold mine to buy my first digital SLR...I couldn't afford to actually use it, anyhow.

Send her here to read all the gory girly details about how we each found our saddles!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Will check out the Specialized saddles & wow ! Never came across anyone on a forum that's familiar with my handlename. I used a Large-format yet it got too pricey so I stuck to medium formats.. Sold my Hasselblad & now sticking to my 35 Nikon
I remind her occasionally but not to a point where I'm bugging to check out the forums & I guess she keeps forgetting ! Still trying..
Here are some quick pictures I took of the bike (Excuse the cellphone quality)
Planning on replacing the stem, cutting the steerer (Still trying to find the perfect fit for her), saddle (Specialized), Seatpost (Need a 0 setback), & a shorter length/ compact crankset.Last edited by f/64; 02-27-2011 at 12:25 AM. Reason: Pics

Personally I love the Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow (LDY) - but she may not need the cut-out. It really will help her to come here and check out the saddle fit threads herself - so much of saddle fit is subjective and depends on so many different factors. The width of our sit-bones is part of it, but is far from being the only thing. Our butts like what they like!

I think they are, in fact, actually the same saddle with different branding. The Lady Gel Flow was a bad saddle for me...too wide, to squishy, and too pear-shaped. Originally Posted by Muirenn
