Poster after poster continually say this or that brand and model saddle is the "bomb". Everybody should be riding it. But it isn't about brand and model (at least not completely). It is to a very high degree about width. Like OP and others are just finding out. As I have said before, there used to be an adjustable width saddle that could be used permanently or just to learn what width was required. Kind of like an adjustable stem. (Not the Easy Seat brand with no nose in front) If bike shops would keep some of those as "testers", they wouldn't have to take back and exchange so many barely used saddles. They could give out the variable width tester on loan for a deposit. Let the customer find his preferred width and then take back the tester and apply the deposit to the required width saddle of customer's choice. I guarantee the brand and model would be much less important if the width were always determined this way first.
