Anyone have any protracted experience with the new E3 saddle sold by Performance? It's supposed to be one of the new crop of "anti- numb nuts" saddles designed based on scientific blood flow measurements and engineering. (How they managed to actually measure blood flow during actual usage conjures all sorts of interesting images.) Put one on my bike today and after a very short test ride, suspect that I will be taking advantage of Performance's return policy. While the saddle eliminated any pressure, there seems to be no room to move around on the saddle to shift positions when climbing, sprinting etc. Has anyone tried the new crop of crotch friendly saddles from Specialized? They come in 3 widths and you actually sit on a foam "fit pad" with measurements on it to detrmine the correct width for your butt.

www.bikeforums.net under "roadcycling" topic listing. Most of the users liked it, except it has a very small sweet spot. Most of the users there came from italia saddles. :)
