I have the 2003 c-dale badboy. It has a nice seat, just doesn't fit my better side overly well. I weigh about 200. I ride quite bent over and flipped my stem to get more extension. Part of my problem is I like to go fast and use a set of 1.0 top slicks@100psi. Tends to make little bumps into big bumps. I am going to get a set of tom slicks to replace these this year, had them before and loved them, will probably help smooth the ride out a little. I commuted from the middle of March when i bought the bike to the end of December, and the saddle doesn't need any more time to be broken in. Either way a slightly sore arse is way better than riding the bus and watching someone chow down on Taca Bell.
