BTW: Speaking of cheap stuff, if you have a chance, order one of these Ventura ASA MTB Racing saddles.

For $8, this is a remarkable saddle. There's not much upholstery to it. Just a plastic body with some hard plastic covering it. No seams to fail. Low friction, the fabric shouldn't wear out. The plastic body has a bit of flex, like a Brooks saddle.

I've gone through some $20-$30 saddles. Seams fail, fabric wears. I'm really impressed with this $8 saddle. Simple and comfortable (if you've already desensitized your bum to a small saddle). I saw it on sale at meijer.com for $6 plus free shipping. I wish I would have ordered 10 and never have to buy another saddle for the rest of my life.

Seriously, $8, free shipping to the store. Give it a try.
