Being big on the outside doesn't necessarily mean you are big on inside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2801#post-29926 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 23:44:47 +0000 ruggtomcat 29926@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>bigger the better I recon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2801#post-29921 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 22:57:29 +0000 Cyclingmollie 29921@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.sheldonbrown.com/saddles.html">Sheldon Brown</a> has advice on saddles which might help. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2801#post-29918 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:50:57 +0000 kaputnik 29918@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Not light or cheap</em></p> <p>It's all relative.

Only the Lithia has a big cutaway in it though.</p> <p>Otherwise I think the venerable Brooks B17 is going to feature highly in many CCEers' favourite perches. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2801#post-29911 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 16:31:00 +0000 1lesscar 29911@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a specialized toupe on my bike. It comes in different widths and has a cut out, which is ideal is I too have a larger frame. It's the comfiest thing I've sat on. Got mine from EBC for about £50. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2801#post-29910 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:06:21 +0000 Its_Me_Knees 29910@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can anyone suggest a good saddle for those of us with a heavier frame and ..er, grander derriere. I've been challenged by my boss to do the Glasgow-Edinburgh ride in September and I need something to go on my hybrid that will allow me to last the distance. The Selle Royal that came with the bike is nice but after 15 miles or so it becomes - literally - a pain in the butt. I need something wider, softer (especially to avoid perineal pressure) but not much heavier if at all possible. Oh, and reasonably priced. Suggestions, anyone?</p> <p>Or... would a suspension seat post work better? </p>
