I've been intrigued by these since the carbon Seymour was first unveiled. The intro of the Tantalus at $300 USD makes it a no brainer vs cycling through 3-5 $100-$150 ill fitting saddles and still being miserable. However, with a sit bone C2C of 125mm, I need a ~155mm saddle, and the Reforms seem to only come in a 142mm. Any word from them on offering additional widths at any point soon?
For reference, I have tried WTB, Bontrager, every Fabric profile, BikeYoke, endless Selle Italia models, have an SQ Lab 611 Active on the way, and the best fitting saddle I have found for me so far is the Specialized Power Arc Mirror, but it's not perfect, works best at the lean angles of my road bike, and is awfully expensive and fragile for off-road use. And I paid more for it than the Tantalus.
(Also, the article is missing pricing info - $400 USD for the carbon Seymour, $300 USD for the Ti Tantalus)
