Oh dear, I hope not. I kissed far too many frogs to find my prince among men!

I went to a local bikeshop yesterday, got my butt measured on the Specialized butt-foam measurer, 138 or so, so bit the bullet (and the wallet) and now have a Jett to try. Rode it in last night's Cambridge CC 10 and the cut-out channel was a revelation (ah, bliss) but over a longer distance I wonder if the rails along each side will be too hard... so am reserving judgement until after this weekend, got a 30 on Sunday which will be a good test.

Not sure about chamois cream or other lubes, mainly because I never used it and have never had a problem with infections/sweat in that area, so am a bit wary of clogging up pores and causing a new problem. But I'll bear it in mind as another thing worth trying, along with shorts.

Fingers crossed for a comfy tush for me this Sunday please, or else there'll be a twice-used Jett coming up for sale shortly!
