I _still_ love the Vitesse. Put 375 miles on it a couple weeks ago! I didn't start to hurt (at the edges, where pantie elastic hits) until about 250 miles. I think the hair folicles there are the most vulnerable. Sit bones never hurt. What I love about the Vitesse- narrow long nose= no thigh rubbing AT ALL and many possible variations of positions. Flat and firm- I think if you don't sink in, the sit bones don't get hurt. I can also sit with "the bits" off to the side, since the nose is so narrow, if I feel like it, or with the sit bones braced against the front of the curved section, just at the edge, for something different.

I know by experience if something, (hurt knee, for example) is causing you to shift all over the saddle repeatedly, you can have major problems with friction. What I mean about changing positions on the Vitesse is like every hour or so, not every 30 seconds.
