I bought an allen wrench and tried to get the old seat off ... couldn't even start the bolt. ARGH! I used to be so buff, once [sniffle]

After covering half the living room with zinc grease from the saddle stem, I decided to take the whole shebang to the LBS and ask them sweetly if they'd help me out.

Meanwhile I put the saddle on the (hard) sofa and sat on it for half an hour. Everything seemed to hold me in the right places, and leave me alone in the right places. Can't wait to ride on the darn thing.
