    Thanks so much for the information! I think I will put it one when we get home from the Oregon Manifest. I am "under weight" - ha that's a first - for the one's we ordered but am not sure that makes that much difference as I am not that much underweight...

    As far as pear shaped, It isn't super pear shaped. I should know within 20 miles if it works.

    I finally put the Selle An-atomica on Sky yesterday and we rode about 15 miles. We did some tweaking and the saddle is a bit more forward than my old saddle. At first the nose was to low then I think it ended up a wee bit high but was extremely hard to tell with the clothing I had on. Was cold and windy so I had on my terry shorts, a pair of craft long johns that were "to bunchy" in the crotch and my wind pants. So the girly parts were a tiny bit unhappy and I couldn't decide if it was the angle, the cut out or the clothes ~ Today I will use my tights under my wind pants and I lowered the nose just a snare.
    I will say the sit bones were very comfortable!

    There's a new company called Rivet Cycle Works, started by a former associate of the late Tom Milton.

    This person posted a letter this past spring to a randonneuring group I subscribe to, explaning the goals of the new company.

    I just did a Google search and I cannot find anything about this company, apart from its facebook page.

    I guess that's not a good sign.
