wait a sec - when did i sell you my bike? ;-) i've still got the original saddle but i just got my bike last year in june or july and haven't logged a lot of miles on it. i guess a new saddle may be in my future.

i can't speak to much since i'm a novice here, but my trek did me well last year and i'm pleased with it! i think you'll be very happy with your choice too!
