Picking the Proper Saddle
I'm looking to buy a new bike saddle. The stock Bontrager saddle I have on my bike is unbelievably uncomfortable. At first it wasn't bad but after 300 miles on it, I can't take it anymore. This will be my first saddle purchase and I don't want to just rush out and buy what looks nice (Fizik Arione...
). The problem is that I don't really know how to figure out what will fit me. Anyone have any tips for picking the proper saddle?
