    A Bontrager?
    Mine was the saddle from hell.

    It actually was branded with the Trek, not Bontrager, name. Maybe an earlier model?

    When I'm in an LBS that sells Trek, they almost invariably have a box heaped with discarded Bontrager saddles—it seems everybody hates them! The only miles the one on my Gary Fisher mountain bike saw were the single digits logged during my test ride; then it, too, ended up in one of those heaping boxes of Bontragers! Hey, bike companies: If you're going to load up your premium-priced rides with house-brand parts, at least put a little effort into making them rival after-market goods.
