That's what I'm wondering, as well. Unfortunately by the time I get home from work there's no time to ride (long enough), and with the days getting shorter that's getting truer by the day. I'll check it this coming weekend.
Have a suggestion and that is to go out on a ride and get Butt Ache but finish up at your LBS. Sit on a road bike that is approximately set up for you and see if you can feel the saddle. Could be like me that the different seating position will work. With the butt ache still there- you will know if it will work.
Strangely enough, I don't really end up with a butt ache, per se, but my nether regions do go soundly asleep after a while. Standing for a few seconds then shifting back on the saddle awakens everything, at least.
I might have to work out the logistics of ending up at the (only local) LBS somehow... literally over the river and sorta through the woods.
The "LBS" where I bought this bike is actually just a bike shoppette in the corner of a larger store and about 75 miles away. The local LBS is a bit closer.
Thanks.
