Stop it you dirty oiks hehe

Saddle.

She's using my commuter when we are out doing rides to pubs, canal tow paths etc, but I'm fully aware of the differences in the nether regions. The commuter isn't too high tech - has a Geltech saddle from eons ago - but it is fundamentally a man shaped one. So a shorter, wider saddle is required I believe? Anybody had to buy a saddle for their significant other that has resulted in a promise very happy other half?

I would need to see pictures of the subject in question to reccommend a suitable saddle.

Spesh WSG BG range. They come in different sizes too IIRC so you can have fun measuring her ischial tuberosities.

My OH has them on all her bikes and swears by them.

They're less energy sapping than rear suspension... And she's probably not entering the TDF any time soon wink

Saddles are a very personal thing depending on bodyshapes etc so to recommend is not easy , but Mrs Cone has these on both her bikes and loves them - shes a size 10 with a smallish butt :takescautionincaseshesreading:

Selle Italia ladies saddle - have a look at the reviews on Wiggle for women's saddles and there is one clear choice.

There is if you are spending 55 sheets on a saddle eek The 22 quid Ozone one has had decent reviews too. Is there a bit of Audi/Skoda badge snobbery going on here...
