I know what you mean, but remember that you are comparing apples and oranges. Does this look better to you?
Because the location of my sit bones is about the same as with the Adamo configuration:
The Adamo essentially has the nose cut off, and "added" to the back (to meet race requirements for length).
Actually, I will say that the lack of a nose is more of a marketing thing. On my Alias, my body never touched the front several inches of the saddle, and on the Adamo, it doesn't touch the front inch. So whether it comes together in the front or not is irrelevant.
But when people are looking for a saddle that doesn't put pressure on the perineum, they see one without a nose and say "that's what I need!" Anyway, that's what I did. Not saying it won't work, I'm just saying that the lack of a nose isn't what will make it work.
