I bought my bike back in July 500 - 1000 miles ago. For the most part, it's been pretty comfortable, although with the cold weather I've started using a trainer some, and I notice that I get some crotch numbness when I ride in the saddle for extended periods (I probably stand more in a real life ride, so I tend to not get numb). So this has led me to wonder whether I am leaning too far forward, or whether my stock saddle just isn't a good fit for my "sits bones". Inasmuch as I was supposed to get a "professional fitting" as part of the purchase, I am probably going to do this as well. I'm hoping that I don't screw anything up, but I'm hoping to do a few centuries this coming season.

So - SD - was it worth it in the end?

By the way, I definitely used the "bars obscure the hubs when riding in the drops" test, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a ballpark view or nirvana...
