I tried the Specialized Toupe in 155mm, and it is a no go. I did an initial 100km and it seemed fine last week, but this week I did 2 60km rides the past 2 days, and my perineum is very very sore.
It didn't bother me while ridding, but after the fact it has hurt a lot.
I read that your saddle should be 20-30mm wider than your sitbones, but you do not see many 170mm rod bike saddles out there.
The Specialized Romin comes in 168mm, but it is rounded more so I don't know how that would work out. The big issue with trying that one out, is I will have to special order it from the shop I bought the Toupe from, and they do not allow exchanges on special orders so it will be a roll of the dice.
