Fully appreciate riding comfort is subjective to the individual, but wonder if the is any one out there that can recommend a good seat for IM distance. I have a relatively bony back side, bonier than most in fact, and get sore after about 40 miles on my current Specialized Gel Toupe? Any advice greatly appreciated, as really stuck on this one!

The 'joy' of 6 hours in the saddle is yet to be savoured by myself but hope the Fizik will be of some comfort
As for the saddle, as you said, it's purely subjective. I tried 4 different one's before arriving at the Toupé, so now have two new one's stuffed in a drawer for sometime in the future!
By the way, I caveat the above by saying if I'm in for a long ride, lashings of assos cream are applied!!
I now have a San Marco Azoto TT Saddle on my Argon TT bike, This is a completely different saddle compared to the Selle Italia in construction.... but the outcome is that I can quite happily sit on it, both in and out of the Aero Position for hours on end.....I would recommend either saddle to be honest.... but again its personal choice.....whats works for one might not work for another
