However I have read on oodles of Surly forum posts that they are pretty ordinary - its like they put a really basic saddle on with the knowledge that everyone is going to switch it out for their preferred saddle. Being built for long hauls, saddle comfort is paramount!
I never even tried the stock saddle - before it left the shop the first time it was sporting a nice Brooks B-17 saddle.

Regarding the weight question I asked earlier in this thread some time ago - my LHT is noticeably lighter than my aluminum with carbon fork Trek 7.6 FX wsd bike. That was a surprise!
