As a born- again cyclist I soon found out that could be one of the down sides so I redesigned my saddle http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/joecolquitt/boms.html Both of these work very well, the second is the one in use at the moment (for about a year). It gets some looks when parked, but looks don't make you ache ;-) There's a commercial version of the first saddle, which I didn't know about until after I'd thought mine up http://www.spongywonder.com/testimonials.html "testimonials" is an interesting choice of words - the origin of it is similar to "hand on heart", if you get my drift Although there aren't any PICs on-board yet, after studying the gear ratios maybe there's a place for automatic selection. On a 3-front 7-back set of sprockets there's so much overlap between the ratios it makes it tricky doing a smooth transition from low to high manually without a lot of lever flicking -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
