• 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!)

    I know that some bike shops have a one day saddle swap garentee, maybe this is something to try?
    They let you ride a saddle, and if you don't like it, you return it and try a differnt one. You are also very welcome to try mine at south drinks, give me a heads up and I'll being my road bike.
