My New Bike (to be anyways)

Little late on this, but what a nice bike for sure! i've always preferred those "happy and cheery" kinds of colors and, as mentioned, safer, too.

Yeah, the saddle thing. I can get by with the usual guy's saddle on a new bike, for awhile, but, sooner or later, the lack of support across my hip bones gets to me, too. I usually have just headed to a local shop to buy a WSD saddle from what they had in stock, but maybe it's time I started to give it more thought. Currently have two bikes that need a saddle upgrade from the stock men's.

So finding a saddle was a bit more complicated than I thought. It has a carbon saddle that came with it which I didn't realize had special sized rails. I couldn't just get a standard saddle without swapping out the seat post which I really didn't want to do. Fortunately Terry makes a carbon Butterfly. That saddle is amazing. I have other Terry Butterflies but this one is so flexible. I can't wait to give it a real try out

By coincidence, just bought a Terry for the Fargo and have yet to give it a try.

NWG - I think the Terry Butterfly works good if you are hippy like I am. I have recommended it to other girlfriends who have woman hips and they have all appreciated its design. I think the width of the Butterfly is about 155 mm which is significantly wider in the rear of the saddle than most others.

I have a Ti butterfly on my other roadbike and its been a good saddle. I tried a chromoly Butterfly once and it was like sitting on a brick. I assume Terry must make their higher end saddles more comfortable, flexible? The reason I say this is b/c the Ti was so much more flexible than the chromoly and now the carbon one is simply amazingly flexible. I'm excited to try it out :-)

Been itching to get out and try the new Terry, but rain, rain and more rain, these past few days. Getting some brief rides in, between showers, but most of my riding has been indoors on the trainer.

As usual my Terry Butterfly did not disappoint and yes the carbon is even more comfy than the Ti. Now if I could get my shorts situated.

Saddle success is always worth celebrating! What problems are you having with your shorts?
