I've ridden the same Brooks B-17-clone Fujita Belt saddle that came on my S-10S for well over 45,000 miles. I never had padded cycling shorts in all that time. Now I do - but only wear them if riding more than 50 miles (approx three hours) at a time. For my 10 or 12 mile one-way commute - nope.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it originally took several hundred miles spread over a few weeks for the saddle and my butt to come to a mutual understanding. It also takes a week or so every Spring. After that, it really doesn't bother me.

Now I'm faced with the task of replacing the cheap SSO (SEAT-shaped objects) on my latest acquisitions. Since my butt is already broken in to my Fuji's hard leather saddle, I suppose it only makes sense to get the same style for the other two so they fit/feel similar.
