Seems to me like every time I buy a saddle, it's a crap shoot whether it's going to be a literal pain in the ass or reasonably comfortable. There is seemingly no rhyme or reason that can be applied other than to ride the thing for a few hours. Soft? Hard? Shape? Leather? Price? None of these things seem to have much bearing on comfort other than just luck.
Wife gave me a new commuter bike for my birthday- it's a great bike, but the saddle is an ass hatchet.
Your thoughts?
