Avocet Touring WII saddle replacement
I dithered around about replacing my saddle until the Avocet Touring WII was discontinued, and soon the old saddle will be worn so badly that a saddle that doesn't quite fit would be more comfortable. Which currently-available saddle is the least-bad substitute for an Avocet Touring WII? -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

Which currently-available saddle is the least-bad substitute for an Avocet Touring WII? That was made by Selle Italia. Maybe look for their Turbo Lady, very similar product (also discontinued). -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Avocet Touring WII saddle replacement
they are out there
https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&t...iw=960&bih=512 My butt likes Specialized, search there. Hard butt compliiant. Shoe Goo on an isopropyl cleaned dry surface repairs saddles with a thick pliable ong lasting coating. With cool temps and cooled Shoe Goo, the appl;ication is self leveling with a cut ploy jug speader as with fiberglas work. Buy from Home Depot. Shoe Goo has several types use the outdoor type. The auto type is hardest. Shoe Goo cures with a deep toxic fume release. Try placing a grocery store plastic carry bag over the seat after gooing or ot herwise. A bagged saddle reduces friction for butt and saddle giving more touring mileage before butt death |

These NOS ones even look reasonably priced: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Avocet-O2-Ai...item43b4082229 |

Avocet Touring WII saddle replacement
the Beeson saddle shape suggests 'hillclimbing' but is a hillclimbing shape more comfy for a large female butt ? Our gluteals differ tween M/F, in fiber structure or fat layers or butt ?
I have not seen a woman climbing a hill. |
