    Sky King and Murienn have covered most of what I would say, but I just want to emphasize that (as Murienn said) you likely need a saddle with a narrower transition area, that is, less pear shaped and more T-shaped. And I agree, if you measure at 140, you really shouldn't be on a super wide saddle, unless you are very upright in your posture.

    Tulip, I don't wear underpants while cycling just the cycling shorts. I just used that term to let you know about where the saddle sore area is at. Wahine, I do ride in an upright posture. I would say my handlebar is about 1 inch above my saddle. I believe both saddles I have tried are too wide also, so I will be looking this weekend for a smaller saddle. It seems like the LBS here doesn't allow trying out saddles. Does anyone know of a good LBS in the Kansas City area? We had an REI open in the Kansas area this fall, (about 80 miles from my home) so I thought maybe they would have something that I could try and return.

    Thanks again.
