Update.
Terry Fly 300k ride. Comfort was okay for the first 200k but became less so after. I found myself sliding forward off the sit bones, causing discomfort. I considered a mid ride adjustment, but decided against. When I'd force myself to stay on the back of the saddle, it felt okay. The next day i moved the saddle slightly forward and tilted up a bit, and rode a few miles. Even with a tender butt, it was decent. With that, I've decided to go ahead and purchase this saddle. It's not a pricey saddle, since I'm going with the cromoly version. Essentially I'm extending the test duration, as the library limits checkouts to one week.
Recommendations section:
Tests
- Specialized Romin 150mm: No, too narrow. Consider the 158mm version.
- Specialized Power 168mm: Maybe. Consider for a longer test.
- Fizik Tempo Argo 160mm: No. Sit bone area pain 35 miles into 200k.
(pause in test, rode two 200k brevets on my Selle Anatomica. Which reminded me this is not the right saddle for me)
- WTB Koda 145mm test. Very short test as I got sick mid-week. Maybe too short. The Ergon is similar so I'll do that next...
- Ergon SM sit-bone pain at 25 miles into 200k. Maybe try wider version.
- Giant Approach in process: decent, maybe tweak adjustment.
- Terry Fly: best yet. Purchase
