oh-kay...

I used to think my saddles were great... but now that I'm doing more than just commuting, my sit bones are arguing the point.

You ladies make a good argument for leather saddles, and I'm a huge fan of leather goods. (Note my old and well-broken in doc martins, work/combat boots, etc etc) ...

I have a couple questions though...

My bike is very mountain-bikeish. She's got the rugged, self-decorated but modern and urban-chic look to her- would the black leather with big copper rivets look funny?

I'm looking for a saddle that would be narrow enough for me to be able to 'get back' for descents, etc- would this do the trick? I have narrow hips and it might be harder to get my little rear out o're the knobbies on a downhill, so I want to be sure.

I've been riding cut-outs since forever, and I'm afraid my hood pierce will argue with suddenly 'not' having a cut-out... do any of you have any thoughts?

I won't have to feel that hot 'n numb feeling in my girlie bits, will I?

... I guess that's it. I have to be sure of these things, because I don't want H killing me for 'needlessly spending MORE MONEY ON THAT **** BIKE!!!!" unless it really helps.
