At this point, I have no pride. I'd ride a pink saddle if it were comfortable. The men's Liberator is wide enough, and it is on my list to try. I just picked up a Selle Royal Ellipse Athletic to try. It has a wider channel than anything I've tried. I also picked up a different stem, just in case. My current one is 110mm with an 8° rise. The new one is 90mm with a 25° rise, which will bring the handlebar a bit closer and a little higher. If the seat is still uncomfortable, I'm changing the stem. If that doesn't work, I might give up and take up golf.
