maybe he didn't know exactly what he was looking for, but it's possible his ass doesn't fit the seat. the kilott seat is pretty hard and it's uncomfortable. I have a rolls, and it's firm, but pretty awesome. I have a turbomatic, and that too is firm but comfortable. I have a san marco caymano that sucks all out in jeans, but works well with bibs.

different saddles for different purposes.


but as said i think slowing down is a good thing. at least the bar change isn't extraneous (at least theyr'e a different style). now as said get some clips and straps (dunno about the quality of the stock pedals. you may not have to buy new ones)
