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.

It's 155 mm wide, so it should work if you are 150 from outer edge to outer edge. If you're 150 from center to center, then it would be too narrow.
You might also want to look at Brooks. The B17 could work for you, in terms of width.

Help me trouble shoot the SSM Aspide Glamour Arrowhead
I am having trouble finding a T-shaped saddle for my 130mm sit bones. The SI Turbomatica was T-shaped enough though too narrow for me. The SSM Aspide Glamour Arrowhead on the first ride was T-shaped enough though I had quite a bit of pressure up front. On the second ride I brought the nose down a bit and up front felt better though on the right side where my butt and leg meet, that crease, the edge of the saddle has rubbed quite a bit. The second ride was longer though I could tell there was a problem 15 miles into the ride. I am puzzled that bringing the nose down just a few degrees would cause such a difference with the comfort at the back of my leg. I am considering either bringing the nose up a bit or moving the saddle back just a bit. Any ideas would be appreciated.
