I have read about keeping pressure off the butt a few times on Sheldon Brown's website... Do people really do that? It's not like I'm just sitting with all my weight on the seat all the time, but if you're spending 4, 6, 8 hours on the bike, can you really be supporting your bodyweight with your legs? If I unweight the seat for a bit of relief, I feel my legs pumping up and burning out in minutes.
I guess it's a fitness thing, like every other part of riding a bike.
the bike looks so awesome.
Yes, I'm very pleased with it. It's probably the prettiest thing I've ever bought - I don't even have any desire to customize it (for now, at least).
