I just got my first road bike, a Specialized Ruby Comp, which came with the Jett 143. It is one of the most painful things I have ever sat on. I was hoping there was a break-in period for new saddles but from what I'm reading here, if it's making me stand the last 15 miles of a 55 mile ride, it's got to go.
To try a new saddle do you just keep shelling out money until you find one that fits? Do LBSs let you try them at least? Like I said, this is my first road bike. I actually tested a 2006 model but the shop didn't have that in a triple. They ordered a 2007 for me, stating that it's exactly the same bike except for the front chain ring. Well, surprise! The seat is different, too.
