It flexes in the middles but the way it slopes is really misleading with the alleged 153. I had ordered mine through Amazon and it came from Niagara cycle for $108. I think thats a decent deal considering the ebay prices. I am sending it back.
Gonna give the vesta a longer go!
I also ordered mine through Niagara (via Amazon...just <$114 w/shipping) and I am tempted to send it back without even trying it. My sit bones are 130mm, but I have my doubts that it's going to work.

I really wish there were some sort of standardized way of measuring saddles. I'm sort of thinking that the Turbomatic might work better for someone with sit bones in the 120mm or narrower range, just based upon appearance.

I think I will still give it a try. At the very least I will be able to confirm whether or not it's a good fit for someone with my sit-bone width.
