 Test Ride
I bought a new saddle for the bike and took a short ride to test it for position and fit.After I was on the road I stopped in Cleveland Park and raised the seat about 3/16 of a inch and dropped the nose one click on the adjuster. It felt fairly comfortable. The seat is new and slick. I new that it would be but was unprepared to slide side to side when I first mounted it. I thought that I hadn't tightened the bolt down. JJ told me to be aware that I would feel like I was sliding off the nose and first. I did slide off when stopping and lifting my weight, but it was all controllable. I am happy with it so far. I rode to the cafe and had an iced tea and an oatberry shortbread and bought a banana nut doughnut for Cis. My little Bontrager saddle wore out after 14 and a half thousand miles. I am happy with the saddle and the oatberry shortbread!!!
