I had read some complaints about the Jett saddle; several people had to switch them out. So far I'm liking mine. It seems to grip the slick fabric of my bike shorts and prevents me from sliding forward. Of course it feels slightly different than my previous saddle but I'm sure once it's broken me in I'll be just as comfortable on it. So, anyone out there wanting to get rid of their Jett - send it my way.
Only problem so far was a bit of brake pad rubbing. Let me tell you...a brake rubbing can really drag you down. Think I've got it solved now.
Want to ride after work but it looks like rain. Forcast says 70% chance. I probably shouldn't have brought her to work. If it's raining at 5pm I think I'll just leave her at the office and hope she's still here in the morning. I want to ride!

Saddles do seem to be a love/hate kind of thing. I like the Jett that came on my Ruby so much I bought one for my rain bike too. (don't feel like having to break my backside in at the end of each season)

The Jett slightly bothered my right sit bone the first couple of rides, but didn't bother it at all on Thursdays ride. So I think so far so good. I have never changed the original seat on any bike I have had.
Thinking mind over matter, I am trying to keep all the complaints I heard about it out of my head.
Rain is predicted here also for early or later evening. I am hoping later so I can get some kind of ride in when I get home. Tomorrow should be a nice 70 degree day, here is keeping my fingers crossed.

Gorgeous bike! I understand about the rain. I'm wanting to ride but we've got rain on the way and I don't think I can get far, sigh.

Fantastic, beautiful bike!
I just went for my first ride on a new/used Jett yesterday...a 3 hour ride. Loved it. It is a lot like the Specialized Body Geometry mountain bike saddle I had been using, but a little firmer, and even better soft tissue relief."The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury
