Though this illustrates the extent to which different physiologies will
like different seats... Personally I find the standard HP seat to be
really comfortable, but have never got really happy in a Bodylink
despite its much vaunted adjustability. My wife prefers Nazca's Fiero
seat to either HP seat, and so on.

I know what you mean, the HP which I bought for my bike, was OK, but my
AB seat is very comfortable, I tried the Nazca and I agree with your
wife it is good. The carbon seat that Power On Cycles cells is also good.

I think it's good too, but... I like the way the HP seat supports my
shoulders while Roos likes the way the Fiero's seat is cut away from
hers: purely down to personal preference.

Your wife has a point regarding the shoulder area. I have read on many
forums that women need a seat that is narrow so that the shoulder blades
bypass the seat sides. I am not sure but maybe a womens shoulder blades
protrude farther than most guys. I had tried a seat on my friends bike
and he bought it as a part years ago from a bent head. Well as soon as I
sat on it I was having pains in the shoulders. Turned out that it was a
very wide seat and just hit me in the wrong place. In a perfect world we
would be able to sit in a special seat that would make a mold for a
custom seat. So no two seats are alike.

While it's certainly true that women are different shapes to men, what
seems to be less well appreciated by marketing and design folk is that
women are also different shapes to... other women!

If I had the time and the place to do it, I would be making a body mold
and then lay up some Carbon fiber and produce a perfect seat.

A good project to keep you out of the casinos the next time you go to
Atlantic City.

I stay far, far away from Atlantic City, my money was to hard to earn,
so I like to hold on to it and buy my toys.

Wise! I can not hold on to my money, spending a small fortune on my
toys (recumbents); one of which is a 'foreign bent'.

Sort of like a prized Jaguar - Ferarri - Lotus - Lamborghini to a car
fanatic. Costs a lot more, but not worth more than $1000. to a non-
bent fanatic!
