Borrow seats from someone who's done a lot of experimenting if you can.
this is definitely what i would like to do, but i don't really have a particular seat in mind, i only know what i don't want. its just hard to determine sometimes because seats feal different after being ridden for awhile. maybe i can find a serious bike shop with an ass measurer like was mentioned.
