I used this saddle for a cross-country ride, and spent at least 1000 miles cursing it...as did my friend Kristi. When we biked across the country again, we both bought the Serfas Med RX.

Note, that for cross-country rides, ANY saddle gets uncomfortable by the time you hit the rockies, but with the Specialized, we were in pain in Wisconsin. The problem could also be due to my bike having had a finicky and loose bolt underneath the seat which would constantly change the seat angle.

and yes, I still have the horrible saddle, but don't ride more than 50 miles at a time on it. If only I had the $$ for a good racing saddle!
