My sit bones are 141mm. I picked up a TRK(160mm width I think) a few months ago for my road bike..very comfortable, after adjusting it in. I usually ride 45-60 miles per ride. No complaints from my rear end. I can actually sit on the saddle (novel concept..I know) rather than continually use my legs to keep weight off the saddle..makes a big difference in riding.

I have a short tour coming up and needed a different saddle for my touring bike. There's a number of (reportedly) good options to try, but I figured..why run another experiment$$ when I know of at least one saddle that's comfortable..I picked up a second TRK a couple days ago..a returned one from amazon $47 delivered. Hard not to go for it.
