Really? I've gotten thousands of miles on my Avocets. Though all saddles must be replaced eventually.

Well, it definitely had thousands of miles on it, and it was lightly used when I bought it. Great saddle, but its time was up. I'm just glad that I was able to find something I liked to replace it- I was really dreading the saddle hunt. Kind of like shopping for a bathing suit!

That San Marco is a nice looking saddle. Now if only it were about 3 cm wider... sigh.

Or better yet, 4 or 5.

Yeah, that's why I maintain a stock pile of saddles. Both Bubba and I have boxes of extra saddles.

Hate to tell ya, but no one on this forum can recommend the right saddle for you. It's all trial and error. Me, I couldn't stand the Glamour Aspide...but I like the WTB Deva. So, I would recommend the Deva based on my sitbones and sitting position.

For you, I would strongly suggest finding a shop that has a saddle demo program, preferable one with a few different lines. Call around and see if there is one close to you. We offer it at our store and it saves customers a lot of money and frusteration. Trial and error is the best way to find the right saddle.

Good luck on the long and sometimes agonizing search!

Just picked up a Specialized Jett. Fingers crossed...

[PinkBike]

if the jett doesnt work out, you might take veronica up on her offer of the butterfly. if you liked the firefly i thought the only difference with the butterfly was it was wider at the sit bones?
but hopefully the jett will do it. is it 155?

[ninerfan]

Yup, 155. I think the butterfly doesn't have a quick enough transition to the nose for me. Gotta have the T.
