    I have taken the bike out 2 times now. 10 mile, 15miles, and 5 miles today, I hope to go again later, but my butt bones are soar. I sit way different in this bike than my last bike, more reach and forward so I am putting pressure on areas of the saddle that I am not used to. My saddle is also way different than the last, it is a Selle Italia and has no cushion like my other saddle so my bones feel bruised and instead of staying off the bike I thought I would try taking it on some shorter rides and see if my body gets used to it. I may need to switch out the saddle which the bike shop said they would do. He said this saddle takes some getting used to because it is a sitting bone saddle and to give it a month and let him know if I want a different saddle. I am also used to being a little more upright on my Specialized and the Orbea is much more forward than I am used to, but I think I will like it once I am actually able to relax on the bike since I am constantly trying to keep weight off my soar and bruised sitting bones. If not, he said he would put on a shorter stem. I will give it another week, maybe a month and see.

    Here are some pics, the bike is a beauty.
