I know the OEM saddle itself has some suspension built in, does the seatpost have an internal valve/spring mechanism as well? If so, then I'll order a new saddle and post to solve this correct? I've read the plethora of saddle posts and think I'll bite the bullet and go for a B-17 and see what happens. Any recommendations about a stronger seatpost? Thanks for the help!

Today was another beautiful Chicago area day! Nice winds, cool temps, lots of clouds. I got 13 miles in today and it felt great.. A whole day of shopping at Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, MC Sports, and a mini-mart made it quite fun. Who needs car??? =)
