Still, I'd take women riders' saddle recommendations over a man's any day. I don't care how many bikes he's built- he still has a man's rear end. Let him ride 1000 miles on my butt before he suggests a saddle to me.(did I really say that?) lol!

A little known secret
To disable ads, please log-in.
about saddles my bike builder told me.
Get a men's saddle, period. He talked me into getting a men's version of the Terry "Fly" saddle I really, really, really wanted for my bike as I had one on my other bike and loved it.
Reluctantly I got the one he suggested and after the initial break-in period I found it to be absolutely the most comfortable saddle ever! The one he suggested is the Terry Liberator Ti-Race MEN'S saddle.
So my point as well as his is don't be afraid to try the men's fit sometimes it's the best fit. Those darn men seem to know stuff about stuff and what do I know, eh?

Just wanted everyone to know I just put my 2009 Specialized Toupe Gel 155 on E-bay if anyone is interested. My butt just doesn't work with Specialized saddles I guess. I will let you all know how the Selle Italia Turbomatic works out when I get it

I got my Selle Italia Turbomatic
Well I got my Selle Italia Turbomatic Gel Flow Team Edition carbon and it looks awesome.........but it won't fit my seatpost on my Cannondale Synapse
I didn't realize that the carbon rails wouldn't fit the clamps on the side of my seatpost. From what my guy at the LBS said a lot of people have that problem when they buy carbon rail seats. I guess I will have to wait and try it on one I am building up. Needless to say I am very bummed

What kind of seaport does it need? I've been hankering after a microadjustable one anyway...

It needs hardware that clamps down from the top of the rails not on the sides (like mine) because the rails aren't circular. My husband got to put it on his bike Originally Posted by OakLeaf
for our ride tonight and he said it was very comfortable. I will have to wait until next week when I get my beater bike put together to try it.....if I like it it will go on my Storck that we are building over the winter.
