Default Saddles for Women

Has anyone used the ISM saddle. Looks very radical in its design but also very logical. I was wondering what the reviews are on it and if it is comfortable. I currently have a Specialized GB, but want to swop as it is very wide for me. Have been looking at Fizik Wing Flex Arione or the Gobi. I have a road bike. Please can someone give me some feedback on the ISM saddle.

Do you mean the ISM Adamo? Unfortunately, I haven't tried it, so cannot comment. There is a review on it here you will need to scroll down the page a little way.

What saddle issues are you having in particular? Have you had a look at the Team Estrogen Forums there is a whole subforum devoted to discussion on saddles and comfort issues.

I have one on my TT bike... IT ROCKS! I never have to think about how much my crotch hurts anymore!

I just had my hands on one of these today after having seem them on the internet. The open nose area is a bit wide (very odd looking saddle). Something to consider. I prefer more narrow of a nose. No rubbing of the "goodies" that way.

Also I'm always on te.com (team estrogen)..... can tell you right now the girls will try to sway you to Brooks Saddles.... didn't work on me but many a member has been converted.

I'll agree it LOOKS wide, but you really need to try it... unless you are of shorter stature (under 5-4") or really small framed. I thought it would be too wide also, but it ended up being judt right, and I'm 5-6".
