Congrats.

My ISM saddle is the only one I'm comfortable on. Slowly getting used to using different sit-bones, but my "stuff" is comfortable. It's good to be riding again. If you truly love biking, this saddle is worth the money.

https://www.bacchettabikes.com/bike/giro-20-att/ Picked this one because it will be easier to ride and it's a "do everything" type bike. I always "personalize / modify" my bikes. I've already got lighter wheels, faster and lighter tires, different crankset, and a few other things...

Eveready, you're too much. Vince, I was testing some saddles with the bike in a trainer and thought, "not too bad". Went out for a real ride and it felt quite a bit different. Nothing duplicates the real thing. If you already have the saddle, take it out for a real ride before you buy it. ...

Loved your reply. Got a good laugh. So I'm actually buying a recumbent off of craigslist today to "tide me over" till I feel more comfortable on my Waterford. It's about biking, outside, pedaling, enjoying nature. With the Bulge leading the way.

Hey Mk I also had Aetna through employer previously. Went to doctor for initial evaluation and was told to wait till I got on Medicare (which was only a couple of months) to have the surgery, because Aetna would not pay for it and Medicare would. I've since had the surgery (now on Medicare with supp...
