please dont tell me you have chopped your lovely locks off
dont bother with a new saddle
get a padded saddle cover if your bum hurts , dearer saddles arnt that more comfy
NO way Daz, the gel covers don't work. the only solution is a proper decent saddle, which molds itself to your body. I have had a gel saddle (relegated to the winter bike) and it's absolutely rubbish, the minimalist one I have now is far more comfortable.
