I won't be cycling with cycling shorts on for most of my rides, as I'm planning on commuting to work on my bike, and I don't have an appropriate place to change, so it'll be um... business attire under rain gear for much of the year.

It was a San Marco Era Luxe. It's quite a generously padded seat, in my experience, and I might just get another one, but as I noted, I'm a beginner looking for other options.

I've got money to spend, and I'd rather just do it right the first time, I'm prone to buying several mid range products before I find one I'm satisfied with.
