Have you got a fat arse?

ooh, now I'm interested.

andyp = skinny little cyclist, more meat on a butcher's pencil
hovis = burly, could be a bouncer at a sixth form college
dammit = weight yo-yos wildly, true arse unknown

if the arione can sort all these people out it may truly be the saddle of all saddles..

But then again, both me and hippy ride the same saddle (and variants thereof), and there's a chasm of about 25kg between us*. It isn't an Arione.

My saddle is small - My arse is getting fatter though :/

Ah, now I see where the 25kg differential comment came from.

Selle Italia SLR. I tried the Toupe and whilst it was good it wasn't as good as the SLR.
I used to use another Selle - a carbon/ti railed, slotted middle wider version called.. fuck knows.. I can't remember. Before that, Selle Italia Flite and Gel Flite. Before that, anything. Brooks don't suit my arse.

Hey, BMMF, I've got a non-padded version of the SLR.. saves a whopping 10g :)

Despite it weighing a scandalous 205g, I like the SLR T1, which now lives on my alu/carbon road bike. The SLR XP has also been fine for years on the audax/turbo trainer/night bike.

But the original SLR is perfect. If it ever gets badly ripped, I'll give the stripped/unpadded thing a go, but it's not really somewhere I strive to save weight.

So what are we looking at? 30kg?

Who..? Me UTFS?

has puzzled face

This one. I've not used it yet.

I have an SLR XP on the Condor, an SLR on the Rubble a white SLR on the S-Works and another SLR in the cupboard. :)

wrong thread sorry...

@hippy Doesn't look like a saddle for the wider-hipped cyclist though. winces

You're such a keen cyclist, come on - you must have measured your sit-bones to the millimetre, surely. Wossya numbers..?

after years of riding skinny little italia flites i had a go on the bontrager arse guage, turns out i've got child bearing hips, got wide saddle, never looked back.

Nup. Well at least not in my current memory range. I've always just tried saddles out.
Ebay made this easier over here since I could buy one, ride it and then sell it on again if I didn't like it for 1/3 the cost of buying new.

Flites aren't particularly skinny. Were you sitting on the nose of the saddle or something?

Someone paraded their big fat arse around West's last week on a fixie, can't remember his name but he was a tall chap fair haired I believe............

Liked racing cars.................. lol

that'll be** BigRearedM**otherfncker

you need a big hammer to drive a big nail*, you pair of sex offenders.

*nicked off this very forum

it was damn skinny compared to my new one... and my arse ;)

What's your new one? Recaro? :)

but seriously it's a bontrager thing- they making different sizes now and the widest one is pretty damn comfy. basically they're ripping of spec BG completely.

I had a Bontrager saddle on the Ribble. I did quite a lot of miles on it so it wasn't bad or anything.

the new ones are completely different and way more comfy :)

...at least for my oversized posterior ;)

I do thank you for asking.

I had two of these but a male friend nicked the other one off me once the Ldy at the front had worn off.

Ok, comparing people who are different hights and weights is a bit pointless the gap between your sit bones is completely unrelated.

I'm currently 15 stone 4 (was once 20 stone) and 6 foot 1, I've just mesured the gap between my sit bones: 65mm... it appears my girlfriend is right I have the smallest arse in the world!

I am shocked........

Jesus fucking christ..!!!

So you're to a few pounds the same hieght and weight as me, but my sit bones are twice as wide, plus a little extra for good measure, than yours.

No wonder people say I have a girl's arse.

I'd never have thought there'd be so much variance in men's arse-geometry. Are women a bit more consistent, or is it as bad for them?

Do you live in a cave? It varies from a size 6 to a size 18 in the UK.

Sit bones, donkey. Not rump-upholstery!

Duh! I have seen women before, you know. They're the ones with the sticky-out bits at the front and longer hair.

and have you measured many 'sit distances'?? :) And what's the best way of measuring, is it measured in hands?
