    I've had a couple of bikes that came with Bontrager saddles. Never met one I could ride. They are things of torture!

    I was pleasantly surprised by the saddle on my new Trek. Haven't turfed it yet!

    well, maybe just one. I actually like it. It's still on the Trek 1000. I had the Madone professionally fit after riding it 8,000 miles the the fitter insisted I change it, but honestly, I think I like the bontrager better.

    If your dad is a serious cyclist, he ought to understand that saddles are a very personal choice. It can be hard finding the right one. It really doesn't matter how "good" the brand is in this area. You need one to support you in the right places and take the pressure off other spots. Also tell him that you need to work on your fit, with stem size and position in addition to maybe swapping out for shorter reach bars, because you are having some pain.

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    I have a Bontrager saddle on my Trek and I actually like it; have not thought about changing it.
