I'm an experienced, (40 years riding, including indoor on a Kickr) cyclist whose "butt" seems to like the old saddle on my 1989 Specialized Allez bicycle. I do have newer bikes which all have a much flatter profile to the seat (when viewed from the rear), instead of the rounded profile on my old Allez.
I e-mailed Specialized to see what their recommendation is for a new saddle, and they said to get a Retul Match. So, I was wondering if anyone here has had one done, and what I can expect during that process? I've read a lot of the posts here about saddle selection, sit bone width testing, etc..
Thanks in advance for the help...this forum is awesome.
