Re: is there a comfortable seat out there?
I have a Form comfort saddle on my Felt. Quite narrow and fairly firm. I have a Velo plush ladies with a cutout on my Upland. That is only a cheap saddle- quite firm, but I really like it. No problems with the girlie bits! I haven't cracked more than 50 kms on either yet though. Been on the bike with a tea break for up to 3 hours though. I actually think the cheap saddle may be more comfortable. I put the nose up slightly on both as this means I am positioned on my sit bones better.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Re: is there a comfortable seat out there?
Someone mentioned getting good shorts, and that really can make a HUGE difference. I always used high-end Pearl Izumis, but recently got some Etxe Ondo and they are amazing! They are also insanely expensive, but they are so nice I have decided I'd rather have one or two pairs of Etxe's than any Pearls. They are just great, I can't exaggerate how comfortable they are.
Re. seats though, Specialized has a foam thing you sit on that measures your sit bones' width, and they have seats in various sizes to match. (I haven't tried their seats.) I use a Terry Butterfly, but i always suspect there's something better out there... |

I've also heard the Terry is very good. |

Re: is there a comfortable seat out there?
I found that for me I am sore regardless of what I wear or the bike seat that I use, but only for the first few weeks after time spent away from cycling.
It does seem as though many different factors tie into the comfort equation. I hope that you find the right combination for you. =) |
