Those Brooks run 200 dollars after tax in my neck of the woods. I have slid the saddle forward a bit, I think I was riding closer to where the saddle starts to narrow, rather than back on the wider part. But maybe it is tilted a bit too far up in the front. The saddle does have a lot of flex in it and is soft, but not deep like a comfort bike by any means. Costly trying to get the right one eh.

Edit:
So this will more than likely be a problem with bike fit, especially saddle you think? There are a lot of saddle threads out there already,I will try messing around with mine a bit more. Just compared it to the original saddle that came with the bike. The original is much firmer with less padding. I only tried it for the first ride, having read that Giant puts racy looking skinny saddles on their bikes, that are not appropriate, but maybe I'll stick it on the bike and give it a fair shake.
