Yes, those... I was lent one to try as everyone insists my current man's saddle should be uncomfortable for me, but it isn't particularly imo... so am sticking with it  My sit bones are very close together for a woman, so maybe that is the reason...

mailordercycles.com is this shop close to you? I used to race against the webster brother's, battered me, in the 80's. There should be alot of good shops around your neck of the woods. Go in talk get measured, look at bikes say you'll come back, buy on the net. |

EP - around Derby way (so not far from you) you could try Leisure Lakes - Breaston. Samways Cycles - Derby, Ashbourne Road. Mercian Cycles - Derby, London Road (be warned they make their own amazing bikes, but they cost!) Total Fitness Nottingham - Beeston - These guys are Tri specialists and stock tri bikes, you may want something a bit more general. |

EP there is pedal power in Loughborough and also Janes Cycles in Leicester. I love TFN though and that is where my bike is from. Evans Cycles in Nottingham have a wide range to look at |

Of course EP you may well be restricted to where you can go to buy a bike under the C2W scheme, like BB is restricted to using Evans. Rutland Water Cycles are quite good too, not a million miles away and a nice day out. |
