saddle size help
i'm 5'11'' - 160 lbs.
i've tried two size 130mm saddles and both have been uncomfortable - (regular specialized, and a selle italia SLR)
does this mean i just need a bigger saddle (143mm)? or the saddles i've been trying just suck....?
i'm thinking about trying the 143mm specialized toupe.

I gotta tell you for me when it comes to saddles less is more. I like some small seats and I am 6'2". I ride a carbon Flite and really like it.
