Hi Trek
Are you male or female as this could make a big difference to what saddle you need.
Any Specialized dealer would be able to measure you for the right width.
As for shorts, if you are looking at cycle specific then Assos are great if quite expencive.

I still get a couple of tender bits of skin (just behind the crown jewelss) and cant figure out how to cure it. Ive tried cream. My seat is a body geom, with the groove cut out of centre. Any hints or people getting similar problems?
I had a similar problem (AND the parts that we don't talk about on a family-friendly forum going numb), even with a BG saddle with a cutout. I found that tilting the saddle slightly forward helps big time. For the first few rides you'll feel like your sliding forward, but that sensation wears off pretty soon as you get accustomed to the angle.

DON'T just try to get used to bits of you going numb - this can lead to permanent damage. The last thing you want is to be hoping to get more sp^m from people trying to sell you . . . uh . . . weekend pharmaceuticals!
Get a new saddle / different setup for your existing one / different handlebar height / whatever. Just don't put up with it or you'll end up not being able to [I'm sure you can fill in the blanks here]

Also I'm experimenting with saddles, and ditced the Selle Italia slr tri in favbour of the thoork where the sides "fall away faster" this is also an improvement
