You need another 1000 miles of misery till it becomes cloud 9. And if it still doesn't break in, wipe it down with used motor oil. Sad to say I fell for it. Never tried so hard to get a miserable saddle to work. But when I got to be so sore I couldn't walk, off to ebay it went. Count me in it's a butt hatchet column.
No in-between? Read the thread, several of the messages before yours are in-between. Nobody there is saying "all must love it." If anything, the naysayers are the absolutists, and are abusive about it. That's rare in 50+!
