I bought both bikes from World Of Bikes, an Iowa City mom and pop shop (details earlier in this thread) and was fitted at the store. They are just really uncomfortable seats. I have gotten used to them in the past, but it's taken a few weeks. I want more cushion, and am also curious if cutouts are better. Also, I have never used the padded bike shorts before, and figure a pair of those will help too. I've seen ones that look like regular dri-fit shorts with the liner/padding inside and will likely get a pair of those instead of the traditional spandex type.

One of the bike shops in CR has a demo area with a bunch of seats on a wood plank so you can actually sit on them and compare. We are going there tonight, but I'll be leaving the camera at home, sorry

Dirty birds!
