  Why has a system of numerical reference never been developed for saddles?   It would save so much trial and error if there was a sizing system similar to   what we use for shoes. It would certainly help in narrowing down potentially   usable saddles.

I think Selle Italia made the Avocet, and the Avocets are virtually a customized version of the Turbo.  In particular, the Women's Turbo is virtually identical to a Women's Model II Avocet, wich happens to be my wife's favorite saddle.
