Riding - and decreased sensation during sex (?)

[Azryder]

I am 5'7" and ride a 56.5 Specialized Roubaix SL4. I have really long legs but am short waisted and so this bike works great for me. I have had two fits on this bike, once when I bought it (two tune-ups within weeks) and then once again this year when I got new shoes. I tried six different saddles when I bought my bike two years ago and LOVE the Selle Italia Diva. I ride about 150 miles a week and do some touring when visiting friends or traveling.

I have one Selle Italia Diva for my bike and one for travel. I take the spare with me so I know I will always be comfortable. Now when riding I never think about my butt. That is the best recommendation I can give any saddle. If you are not thinking about your butt or lady parts your saddle is working.

As others have said - go commando with your shorts and get a good pair. Cheap shorts won't last long and don't provide comfort on long rides.

Now I only wish they made this saddle in RED!

BTW - one last comment - I saw the post about the fit from someone who didn't like this saddle. You can go to any of the better bike shops and most of them can give you your sit-bone measurements. That is important and makes a huge difference on the saddle you buy. The Selle Italia Diva fit me perfectly but not be the one for you.
