Ouch.
I wasn't suggesting that your saddle doesn't work for you -- but it sort of sounds like it doesn't. I haven't looked at the measurements of the Power, but it seems to have the same shape at the key points as the saddle I mentioned. Just a thought.

Very curious about your saddle. Is this the top of the line?, what is the width? Which saddle are you coming previously?
Thanks and enjoy your Colnago.
Thanks! It feels like a privilege every time I ride it - even commuting.
The saddle is the top-of-the-line S-Works Power in 143mm. Most recently I had ridden the 143mm Romin (for about 1.5 years). I didn't leave it because of discomfort - a BG/Retul fit pointed out some pelvic rotation issues that were giving me some nasty back issues - the Power alleviated those issues and showed me, for the first time, what it actually means to sit on your sitbones. Before the Romin, I'd ridden the Toupe, Fizik Aliante, Fizik Antares, Fizik Arione (normal and VS), Selle SMP Dynamic, Selle Italia SLR, Prologo Nago, Selle San Marco Aspide, as well as a Bontrager in there somewhere.
If the very edges of the Power had something similar to Wingflex - it would be perfect. Though I had a similar issue with the Antares (back of the saddle was comfortable with this exception - front of the saddle was torture).
A few ride shots from this weekend.
I asked my fitter about the leg/saddle issue and he recommended I bump the saddle back 3mm as a start... which I don't really have room for on the Superleggera post (as Cal pointed out). So now I'm looking at maybe swapping to a Superzero cockpit (because I still don't want to fork over for Enve).

What a beaut!
No disagreement from me here.

Interested in hearing if you decide to switch back to mechanical. I'm putting a new build together, and while electronic is neat, not sure I would enjoy the loss of "control" either.
