This brings up a question I've always wondered about. Why do road bikes come with saddles when they don't come with pedals? They don't come with pedals b/c the manufacturers know pedal systems are personalized items, but so is the saddle - I'd just as soon save the few bucks and put the saddle I want on the bike instead of throwing OEM saddle in the dumpster behind the shop.

ALSO - is "taint" a British term?
