Sure enough after about 1500 miles the saddle ceased to be a problem. I'm riding Adamo now, but I still have a Specialized Body Geometry and a Selle Anatomica and several more
The difficult thing is if it takes 1500 miles which saddle do you start with. I'm guessing the one most comfortable. Of the four that I have access to, I'm going to stick with the Selle Italian Gel Flow. It is the thinest and smallest of the lot but feels great on the road. I just have to change how I ride on the trainer and get some miles under my butt.
