Selle San Marco Aspide Glamour??

[Sedona]

Well, after about four or five years of using the Aspide Glamour, I need another saddle.

I loved the it, and got a lot of great road miles out of it. If anybody has liked this one, could you recommend another one out there that you like? For me, the padding was great, and my sit bones lined up perfectly with the Aspide. I might just get another one, but breaking the saddle rails sure doesn't help a girls' confidence out.

Thanks for any suggestions you have!

I have an Aspide Glamour that was not comfortable for me. Used once. If you want to buy it, PM me.

If not, the widest Bontrager Affinity WSD is almost exactly the same size and shape as the Aspide Glamour. The RXL version is probably closest to in it terms of padding (the RL and R are more padded).

I just sold both of mine on ebay, +1 on the Affinity, I sold my SSM because of a little too much crotch pressure. The affinity is almost exact except for a little more dent. There is also a money back guarantee from Bontrager.

Can anyone provide ACTUAL measurements of the Glamour Aspide Arrowhead? I've been looking online - eBay, and other assorted sites, and have been seeing conflicting numbers. I've seen everything from 145 - 155mm. So which is it, exactly? And if anyone knows...what is the difference between the Aspide Arrowhead and Aspide Arrowhead K? Thanks!

Crap...I hope the one I won off of eBay really is 155!

Does anybody have sitbones ~150mm and ride a Glamour Aspide? The Arrowhead version? I'm having a LOT of trouble finding a saddle wide enough that isn't padded like a BarcaLounger. I'm way out in the back 40, and the LBS's (while great people) have a very narrow selection, especially in the "I'm dead serious, and yes, I'm a woman" department. I don't think the Specialized Dolce or the Bontrager Nebula are going to work (too padded). I'm doing 80-100mi rides on weekends, and 30+mi rides during the week.

I have ridden one in the past and measure 150. I actually liked it a lot and just ordered another one from bicycle buys.com. I too am in the boonies and have to rely on mail order. It is not that padded but is very comfy when seated, the seat flexes and supports well. Hope that helps.
