Hi,
Black Ewe's road bike now has flat bars on it as this is more comfortable and confidence inspiring than drop bars where she was struggling to cover the brakes.
The next thing is to replace the saddle as it's probably too narrow for her as it's actually the one that came attached to the frame and seat post when I scrounged it from my local bike shop of the time.
On her MTB she's got a ladies saddle with a gel insert which she finds comfortable enough.
Any advice on road bike saddles for a lady?
Budget is £40-£60ish
The bike's used mainly to train for and compete in triathlons, she does have some back issues.
So advice on saddle and also positioning / angle as I believe this is different for a lady?
Thanks
