The Runner and you will prevail, and make sure you rub it in for weeks to come. @daness40 - The numbers 143/155 refer to the width of the saddle, so based on your measurement you should go with the 143. Specialized also has a 130 size for this saddle. It would be best to try them both out at a local Specialized dealer to see what fits.

Don't remind them to drink frequently during the day. Lastly, don't warn them about upcoming steep hills, this way they can't pace themselves! Stack the deck in your favor!!! I'm kidding. I honestly want to know the unbiased outcome. You should encourage the kids to eat lots of gassy food right before the ride. Don’t remind them to drink frequently during the day.

But I was wondering if anyone knows what size specialized romin saddle would fit me best? I measure 134mm for my sit bones. Would 143 or 155 be best? Hopefully the large collection of avid cyclists that follow this blog can assist me! Thanks to anyone that can help. Hey,

Team Fatty jerseys always stick out... You and The Runner are in Bicycling's June magazine. The picture on pg 39 from Levi's 2010 King Ridge Fondo... Probably old news to you by now... Where’s Fatty?

Hope y'all hace cell phone coverage, just so Fatty & Runner don't have to worry about how kids are doing. Fatty, I'm hoping that you & Runner know of a turnout to park the Sag Wagon on the reverse route, then pull up behind them with words of encouragement and an occasional horn beep just to keep them moovin.
