Little late on this, but what a nice bike for sure! i've always preferred those "happy and cheery" kinds of colors and, as mentioned, safer, too.

Yeah, the saddle thing. I can get by with the usual guy's saddle on a new bike, for awhile, but, sooner or later, the lack of support across my hip bones gets to me, too. I usually have just headed to a local shop to buy a WSD saddle from what they had in stock, but maybe it's time I started to give it more thought. Currently have two bikes that need a saddle upgrade from the stock men's.
