BabyBlue,

So thrilled for you. Can't wait to try out the Avail now!
The bag looks great - and does kinda look like Darth Vader from that photo!
As for the saddle, I'm sure you did use some sort of chamois creme, but I can't recommend Assos highly enough.
I'd been off the bike for 8 months and after a couple of weeks and a lot of Assos, I'm now able to sit on my saddle without doing some kind of weird limbo dance!
