That's a beautiful saddle. The black would have looked better on my bike than the honey, truly, but for some reason I love the honey.

I finally just made my saddle level and back as far as it will go, and rode a short (3 mile) ride. I noticed a little soreness in places I haven't noticed it before -- a different part of my thighs, a little in my knees, and the longer I rode, the more I felt like I was carrying too much weight on my hands.

It wasn't until my husband asked about it that I realized I hadn't felt anything about the saddle to comment on -- just other areas (which are probably adjusting to the new saddle height, angle, etc.).

However, I'm not sure about my hands. I may end up lowering the saddle again, since the guy at the LBS lowered both it and my handlebar. I raised the saddle but that might be putting more stress on my hands.

OR -- maybe I just need new gloves. Mine only have padding on the pad of the hands. I may need to get some that are padded all over the palms.

Anyway, I need to put a lot more miles on the bike with the saddle this way, but it's much better than it was before. Thanks for all the patient advice. I've been reading mine and others' and it's helping bunches!
