[quote=El_Diablo;607422]my now long gone Aunty wanted a bum cast taken in eg plaster of paris, so she could take it to the bike shop and get a saddle that was her shape- it was good thinking on her part!
:D And this cracks me up. When I was fitted for the Specialized they had me sit on a gel thing & measured the marks my sit bones made. That's how I was told to ride the 155 but think it looks to big (am probably the only one to notice). I don't know if that's specific to Specialized or if your better LBSs should all have that.
I think I'm going to have to give up on having a skinny saddle, I've tried the Spec. Toupe (I know some of the guys on the forum ride them) b/c they were just too hard, but my Jett is just fine for me day to day. On those 20+ mile days I do get pain in my bones but that's not what I was mentioning when I started this thread.
Generally I don't wear padded bike shorts, I gave up b/c I didn't find I needed to with the Jett, overall. Plus, I think I left them in NYC. Bah.
