Wow what a great thread!
I have ongoing saddle issues.
I have two bikes, both of which I use a lot (2 hours commute a day).
Bike 1 started with the standard Boardman saddle which was completely unbearable.
Swapped for a specialized avatar 143 mm which is ok but not comfy by any means.
Bike 2 has a Selle Italia Lady gel flow, which is very painful and only just bearable!
I don't have much money and can't really afford to buy loads of saddles!
Don't know why I have such issues. Think my sit bones are quite narrow which is why I get on better with the avatar... Have kind of resigned myself to ouchiness now... :-(
(Sad violin plays in backround!)
