Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lost thread on women's saddles

There was a recent thread on comfort versus saddles for women riders. Could someone please point me towards it? I seem to be having difficulty finding it in the search.

Bottom line: My girlfriend recently purchased a new Specialized Dolce Pro which is designed for women - apparently the saddle also to accomodate the physiology of women. Unfortunately, she has quite a bit of discomfort in the vulva area with this saddle. The saddle is adjusted properly - she went through a two hour professional fitting. She did not have that problem with her large, previous hybrid bike.

Thanks

Is this it?

If that isn't it, just search "women saddles". That's what I did, and there's a lot of threads.

Thanks. There was a thread that just started, and the first person leaving a message left a URL to an interesting site dealing with women's saddles. I can probably find it with a Google search.
