I have been using Selle Italia Flite Trans Am Max saddles on all my bikes for years. They are roughly 153 mm wide by 277 mm long. They weigh about 285 grams, but are comfortable for me, which is why I keep buying them. But now I have to find used ones to buy since Selle Italia stopped manufacturing them. Selle Italia makes a new Gel Flite Max saddle, but it includes gel and is even heavier than the old Trans Am Max. I wonder whether or not anyone makes and sells a wide saddle that is more minimalist and lighter weight. I haven't been seen one yet. I am not looking for padding; I just care about having a wide enough platform, probably 150 mms or more, to accomodate my wide ass sit bones.😄

Great! I will give it a try. I know the local, Trek/Bontrager dealer. Thanks!

No problem. As I said though, they will be available shorty, next few weeks or so. Have your trek dealer back order one so you get one on the first shipment available.

links to most of the saddle manufacturers are here, so check out the varying widths, if any....and weights 🙂

Also, if your old saddles are dying, they're easier to revive than you might think. I've revived heaps of old Turbo and Vetta Gels by cutting out hardened gel, sometimes replacing the foam, then getting them recovered.

Thanks for the link! I have started digging through some of those manufacturer websites for the dimensions and weights.
