Bikes: Had an old Columbia in the 80's, here a used Schwinn hybrid, now a Cannondale Quick 3 and a Topstone 105..

I would like to add this comment. I, like so many on this forum and other sites, have tried so many different saddles in search of the "correct" fit. I was on the verge of selling or converting my gravel bike when a sales person at my bike shop asked if I had ever had a real sit bones measurement? I had not, I only had my own at home measurement so he had me sit on his instore equipment. Turns out I have wide sit bones and the saddles I had been trying were way off. Once I got that straight I tried two more with the correct width and I found my present and current "perfect" saddle until I become more or less fit but at least I know what the starting point is. What all of this rambling is for is to say what a huge improvement the correct saddle made in my riding enjoyment. The 1/8" post is now I am getting greedy and want to get that fit that I only read about here.
Be safe all, Frank.
