SI Turbomatic, SSM Aspide Glamour, Ruby...T-shaped Saddle Chat HERE!

[OakLeaf]

Since the Turbomatic is so domed, does it place a lot of pressure on the soft tissue?

I have the opposite experience. My sit-bones perch on top of the domes and the rest of the saddle slopes away from me. Big happy.

My SSM Glamour Arrowhead is here! Can't wait to test it tomorrow. I have high hopes! It seems to have the best qualities of the Turbomatic and Ruby. My only concern might be the relatively small/narrow cut-out, but that may not be an issue at all. Because I've never had a saddle really fit me well through the sit-bones AND thighs I've always ended up having issues with not being centered properly over cut-outs. So I may find that I don't really need an overly generous cut-out.

Good luck! Look forward to your report.

Anxiously awaiting your thoughts on the Aspide Arrowhead.

I really can't wait until tomorrow night's ride. I just hope that all this anticipation doesn't turn to let-down. I don't even have another saddle in line that I'd want to try.

I hope it works for you, I rode one for a long time and I love the flexibility of it.
It makes up for the smaller size cutout.

Has anyone ever heard of or seen the San Marco Ischia Glamour Arrowhead? I was doing some research on bikes (might be in the market for a new one soon), and found that this particular saddle is used as the stock saddle on the BH Cristal and the Jamis Xenith Elite Femme. Anyone have any experience with it? I tried looking it up online, and found very little info/pics on it. Apparently, much like the Aspide...there are various versions of it - the Glamour, and the Glamour Arrowhead. From what I was able to dig up, the Glamour does not have a cutout and is 155mm, and the Arrowhead does have a cutout, but is only 140mm. If anyone else can find some better specs on it, please let me know.

It's interesting how flexible it is. I really noticed that when comparing it to the Ruby. The ruby has some flex, but the Glamour is MUCH more flexible. I'll be interested to see how that feels.
