What's amazing about the saddle issue is often how quickly you can identify the WRONG saddle. I went in to my LBS recently to swap out a saddle that I had finally decided was no longer worth the pain. My poor friend at the shop had to switch out half a dozen saddles for me, one of which I sat on for less than 5 seconds and was off the bike and back in the shop! I finally settled on a Terry Firefly. I have been riding on it for about a month now and am very happy with it...amazing how the pain goes away when you have something that fits your butt! The only stock saddle I have kept on a bike is on my Fuji Tahoe mountain...for some reason, that saddle is great!
