I just purchased a 2004 Gary Fisher Marlin (will be in Friday - can't wait!) and am looking to replace the stock seat, as I heard it wasn't too comfortable. Couldn't tell much from my short test ride; love how the bike handled though.

I will be riding the bike mainly on moderate trails and on 20-25 mile road juants during the week to keep active. What's a good seat that's in a range of $50 at max? I'd like it to look cool and be slender-ish. I sometimes have problems with crotch numbness when I sit in the saddle a lot, which happens when riding on the road. I do have padded biking shorts I wear under mesh shorts.

Thanks!
