    I think a lot of manufactuers intentionally do not put very good saddles on. They know a lot of people already have favorites so they don't bother.

    But if nearly all of us swap out the saddle, why do they charge us for the saddle that comes with the bike? Many bikes no longer supply pedals, so why supply the saddle?

    But, will the next question be "how many saddles did you try before you found one you liked?"? Or has that one already been asked?
