Haven't tried it either, but it's nice to see Terry is making a saddle with a bigger cutout. Should help a lot.![]()

I put it on the trainer tonight. Roughly the same width and overall look off the butterfly, little bit slimmer overall and the cutout is a bit further back and wider.
On the trainer the soft areas don't feel much pressure at all! My sit bones feel more though. Could be that there seems to be a bit less padding in the back. I'll see tomorrow if my bones accept it on the road or not. I might have to dial it in a bit, but it seems promising!
The neat/weird/scary thing is the rails!! They are a combo carbon/steel alloy thing and they look like they will break easily. The whole saddle flexes under the weight (the rails bend under hand pressure). I'm hoping that this will give a smoother ride and won't leave me biking home standing up!!
Sounds promising! Definitely keep us posted - I am always looking for a new saddle to try. Even though the one I have now is comfortable (Specialized Avatar 155), I keep thinking there's one out there that might be even more comfortable!
I laughed when I read this. My current saddle is pretty comfy too but Im always thinking the same as you, there could be one out there even better - much to the horror of my husband.Originally Posted by Fuji Girl

Yes, saddles could become a complusion, but I'm very happy with my most recent purchase... I think I'm good for a while now.![]()
Another compulsive saddle purchaser here! I even bought one of those that is sorta round--no pointy front--at Bike Expo. It was only $30, and I thought I'd give it a try. I've spent $30 on lots stupider stuff than that! If it's great, I'll let y'all know. I'm hoping to finally get on the road tomorrow for a bit.
That odd saddle that I got at Bike Expo is called THE SEAT. I put it on my bicycle and cannot get it to go back far enough to be correct for my knees. So I'll be offering it around to people here in town. I don't know if it's comfortable or not! I'm still trying to decide between the Jett and Liberator Ti Race that I have. I'm not sure either is the answer. I really like the looks of that red Selle that TE has the Lady Gel Flow. Any thoughts on that one? I've also been looking at the new Terry Zero. So much confusion. I just wish my hynie could speak up and say which one is best for it!!!
