Wanted

Pedalfaster thanks!

I did tell them I was doing tri's, he was pushing to put me on a bigger bike, I didn't feel comfortable on, I looked again mine is a Small, its a Specialized. I told them several times that I was using the trainer a good bit right now and they didn't even mention I would need a different skewer, I also bought my trainer there and told them that, I just think they could have mentioned that, I am new to this type of riding and know very little about it, but I am learning daily!! I did go by on Fri and he gave me a different skewer!

I finally got to ride my bike outside yesterday, SWEET, it is so comfy and that little bitty seat is actually more comfortable than my hybrid seat was!!!!
I couldn't last much longer than an hour on the trainer without being numb, I rode this bike for an hour inside Fri and never went numb

This bike is fast too, I only rode about 5 miles b/c I had just ran a little over an hour and I wanted to see how far it was so I used the bike, I was a little too cold to ride much longer anyway, I can't wait for warmer days.

I won the bike shorts on ebay Like new for $15.50 includes shipping. I also emailed the fellow selling them and he has more but they are 20's, so I cain't wear them. That's ok, I only have one pair now that are mens so women's will be a nice break.

Hey Trigurl! Are you using the stock saddle that came with your bike or did you buy a different saddle? I'm still on the hunt for a good saddle. I'm not sure if mine is just not right for me, or I just need to spend some more time in it. I've put about 150 - 200 miles on my bike since August and my girly bits are still pretty unhappy.

So far I am using the stock saddle, I really like it - so far

I had a cushy one on my hybrid that left me numb after a while and this one doesn't do that after a long while, this one has the center cut out too. As I get riding more I may find it uncomfy. I hope not this bike cost me a fortune already

This is a long shot - but it works for me, so maybe... I went through a major battle with saddles a few years back, tried 3 (2 Terry and 1 Specialized) before I found one that I could comfortably ride. I ended up with a Fi'zi:k Vitesse, which is classified as a unisex saddle (OK, I didn't believe it either...). It's a fairly narrow saddle - but I've found that my body is very happy with it and I now have it on all of my bikes.

You can buy it direct from Fi'zi:k on their web site - www.fizik.it - but maybe you'll be lucky and your LBS will carry them.

Thanks Denise and Trigurl. The Fizik is one I've heard of before, but haven't checked out. I will do so now. We, thankfully, have a friend who works at a bike shop and she can order just about anything for us. I was at REI today and they had these incredibly cushy feeling Serfas ones, but I wondered if perhaps they might be TOO squishy. I'm starting to find that less is more in the girly bits area, as far as my body is concerned.
