Saddle fit and comfort is a mystery to me. Last year I rode with a Selle Italia Trans Am Gel Flow (now there's a mouthful) until mid-season when I switched to a Selle San Marco Arrowhead that is aptly named. Why? I have no idea. It just seemed like the "guy thing" to do. At age 65 you'd think I'd be over that macho thing. In any event neither saddle was a problem. This year I went out for the first 6-7 rides on that arrowhead and had nothing but soreness. Switched back to the first saddle (I am not typing that entire name again.), moved the saddle forward a bit to spin better and.....no soreness. I don't get it but I'm not changing back. At least I don't think so.
