LBS has the seat thing stuffed in the back. Not sure why it's not used or promoted at his store. Most of the shops I've been in have the big plush saddles.

Met up with a lady that has a Pugsley today in Lincoln and we did 8 miles of single track. No problems with the saddle even going over roots. Nothing was sore, pinched and I stayed on the seat part. It was an awesome ride not having to deal with crashing onto the nose.

I do know what you mean about the gel which is why I was hesitant to buy it.

Having the stem shortened with an adjustable stem was great. My back didn't hurt despite having a pack filled with some water in it. I'm getting closer to a better fit.

Skratch wins again today while riding.
