Realizing of course that distance between sit bones doesn't always correlate to saddle size. The shape of the saddle has a lot to do with it as well. If one fits a 143 Toupe, a 143 Romin will be too narrow. The 155 will more likely fit better. The size Specialized quotes is edge to edge at the widest point, not the support points.
