FWIW...as a newbie--or a born again biker after many years--- in for about the same amount of time, but one who has ridden 4 different saddles...I knew within 10 minutes if I was gonna have trouble or not.

I defer to the more experienced in terms of getting the fit right...but I even knew which ones I wanted to mess with and which I just wanted to get the heck off! IF I listened to my body and my "6th sense"

I have a new Brooks B67 on my specialized globe now and I love it...it's not broken in, but it is a sweet and kind saddle....

what kind of fast dogs you got???

Elk, your bike is beautiful! I too have a B67, and it supports my butt.
put it this way, my backside is the LAST reason i ever want to quit riding.
long before my butt gives out, my legs, arms, neck, back, brain... they give out first. my butt is happy to just sit there...
