I've been getting along a lot better here lately. Looking forward to a saddle upgrade down the road but it might be quite awhile as I've spent too much in the last month on cycling. Thanks for the tips on the brooks and the mink oil. I think I have a good idea of my saddle size now. Also I think some of my current discomfort might be from my clothing. I don't have any special cycling shorts, etc just athletic shorts which are kind thin / loose. I don't know anything about cycling specific shorts but I've heard they help. Not too excited to wear super tight clothing!
