		<title><![CDATA[I loaned out my mountain bike and it was returned with the saddle slashed!  It was the Chubby Cheeks model and it took me several trials with saddles to find such a perfect balance of comfort and fit for me!  I see you no longer make that model - what model do you suggest I replace it with?

Thanks,

		<description><![CDATA[The Molto is the most similar to the Chubby Cheeks.  If you'd like to try something a little more svelte, the Cite X gel would also be a good alternative.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[how does the firefly for men compare to the fly titanium? is the shape and the amount of padding the same? if so does that mean that the only difference is the kind of cover and the kevlar edges? 
is the padding in the zero Y for men dramatically reduced? is its shell and the shape the same as in the saddles mentioned above?
thanks for your time

		<description><![CDATA[The Firefly is the same length and width as the Fly Ti and has the same padding. The rails are different: the Firefly has a vanox rail (stronger and ligher than ti); the Fly Ti has a ti rail. The padding in the Zero Y is less than in the Fly Ti and Firefly. Other than that, the shell is the same.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[My wife (48) is thinking of starting cycling to be able to do triathlons and charity rides.  I am helping  her with choosing a bike. 
2 questions about your road bicycles:
1. Why steel? wouldn't titanium/aluminium or carbon be lighter?
2. Wouldn't compact geometry make more sense for women? (downsloping top tube)]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of our current road bikes are aluminum/carbon or aluminum.  Our road racing bike, Fast Woman, is steel and weighs just over 18 lbs, just a few ounces more than Isis, our scandium (aluminum)/carbon bicycle.

Compact geometry may help with the standover, but it doesn't address reach to the handlebars or the relative position of the handlebars to the saddle.  So, a small rider may be able to straddle a compact frame, but may not feel comfortable with the reach to the handlebars or the height of the bars.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[In searching for upper back and shoulder pain free cycling, I'm trying to decide between trying a recumbent vs. a Terry bike.  I'm 5'8", so not on the short side, have women my height felt the changed geometry of a Terry made a significant difference?]]></title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, they have. One thing remains the same, whether you are 4'10" or 5'10": the proportionate lengths of your limbs and the placement of muscle mass. So, even though a taller woman can easily find bikes that fit her legs, she still runs into the problem of finding a bike with a reach that's not too long (which aggravates neck and shoulder problems). When I first started building custom frames, I built a bike for a 6'1" woman; the bike had a top tube length more often associated with a 5'4" male rider.

But a recumbent bike is so very different from a typical diamond frame. Yes, it will definitely help your problem. I'm no expert on recumbents, but I do know that they use your muscles a little differently. I have friends who ride recumbents and love them.  

There's no right or wrong here; just personal preference.]]></description>
