Yeah, if I lived in Mississippi, I might not have one.

spelger : I have Brooks saddles on several bikes, but the one most relevant to you is my main ride, which is an endurance/all road bike. The bars are about 15mm lower than the saddle (i.e., I am kind of upright) and they are drops, so I am all over the place position-wise.

There are other saddles, like Berthoud, you might want to check out. Most of these are narrower, and allow for a more aggressive position. I used the Aspen for awhile on my main ride, but I found I was sitting on the reinforcement and it start to hurt about 30 miles into a ride. I put it on a different bike where it is fine.

And if that isn't expensive enough, the new carbon fiber 3D printed saddles might be worth checking out (Fizik, Specialized).
