They're 700x32c tires, so there's still plenty of cushion there. And the combination of me, the bike, and my usual load comes to 250 pounds or so; that calls for higher pressure anyway.

That particular bike is a ti frame with a cro-mo fork, with a Selle Italia Max Trans Am saddle that has just a little bit of springiness from the elasomers the rails are mounted in. All in all it's just right for me: not teeth rattling; good for long rides; no "bouncing."
