I posted this in Classifieds, but something is wrong with that section and it takes many minutes to load. So, for those that didn't see this there, here it is here:
I have a new Selle SMP Pro (black) saddle for sale or trade. I would like to trade for the SMP Plus version. The Pro is 148mm in width; the Plus is 159mm; there lies the difference. Pro is too narrow for my sit bones and is painful. Other than that, this is the pefect saddle.
Alternatively, I could sell the Pro to someone for $190; this is a big discount over retail value.
These are great saddles and live up to the hype of being more anatomically suitable. The large cutout and downturned front are really helpful. But, get the width right! You can measure your bone distance using a bag of flour or similar setup. Sit on it and measure the 2 little "points" where your ischial tuberosities poke out. Most guys are narrower than most women. I am female, so 159mm is closer to ideal for me.
Anybody?
