After putting a couple hundred miles on the Vintage Leather Saddle, and by "vintage" I mean that the actual saddle is wicked old, it's just not working for me. It's not breaking in. It's making my but uncomfortable and I'm not even sure that it was adjusted right. So I replaced it. I have a"trek" brand saddle that is pretty wide so of course I didn't use that one but a smaller one that I salvaged off of a Shogun 400. It took me a few tries to get it adjusted right but after a while I got the riding position right but it was only slightly more comfortable than the old leather one had been.
But what to do? Why, get a more comfortable one of course! Which one though? How can you pick one? There are all kinds of leather ones, and a billion kinds of synthetic ones. How do I pick one? I have no idea. I guess I'll try the one that's on there again since it IS marginally more comfortable than the other one. But I'm serious. How the heck DOES one pick a descent, comfortable bicycle seat?

Cycling Log 2010
- 1/3/11 Rode The Basement for a half hour today. Spun it a little
- 1/1/11 I left the house. On a bike! I took the 820 out for a spin. Only went a few miles and hammered like a kid instead of spun like a fat old guy tring to loose weight but the bike IS now, officialy and beater on it's way to rusting into junk.
- 12/17/10 45 min on the trainer. Irish Punk set the cadance.
- 12/13/10 12 miles on the 820 (?). 50 degrees wet ground but not raining.
- 12/11/10 5.5 Miles on the new Trek. It's an OK bike. I'm getting the Raleigh overhauled this winter!
- 12/10/10 Trainer Only a half hour but I used a Metronome and Public Enemy to keep the intensity UP!
- 12/4/10 I did an hour on the trainer today. I did a couple hours a few times since I last posted but DIDN'T log tham so now I have no way to track my progress.
- 11/24/10 Cold and windy and just about dark by the time I got up. Did an hour on the trainer.
- 11/22/10 11 miles on the Marathon. Almost did not walk up Nemisis at all.
- 11/21/10 Measured out to be about 11 miles. Not bad considering that I almost scrubbed after the first two!
- 11/20/10 9 miles on the UO-8. About 8.5 too many. Also did six miles yesterday. Didn't go far but POUNDED it out.
- 11/15/10 10 miles on the Marathon. Easier than it was on Saturday even though I was about half as motivated when I started out.
- 11/14/10 4-5 miles on the 820 pulling a trailer full of Bruce
- 11/13/10 10 miles. Done,
- 11/7/10 After a two and a half week hiatus I went six and a half miles in the cold and rain on the 820. Not bad....
- 10/20/10 about 5 miles of riding arround. I also rode a little over the last ten days but nothing that I can remember the place or ,ilage. Just "arround".
- 10/10/10 7.2 Miles
- 10/;08/10 6 miles had to do some road-side adjustment and need to do some ACTUAL adjustments.
- 10/06/10 Cold and rainy so I hit the trainer while The Bruce was napping. 15 big mins!
- 10/04/10 ten SOLID miles on my Vintage Marathon. OK. I made the jump NOW can I keep it up?
