I think the Trek 1000 comes with a Bontrager saddle that doesn't look like that one. Uh, I think I'm getting confused with the Element thread--what year is your bike again? oh yeah, the Element was an '06 and the bike is older....so that may be the stock saddle after all.
umm, I don't know if this was to me or not, but I don't have an Element. My bike is an 04 and the seat is Bontrager, I just don't know what style.

The LBS guy says that I am just not used to riding in this position. I'm accustomed to the hybrid and it is going to take a while to adjust.
