Well after several years of telling people I'm getting a Cervelo, I finally managed to pry the money out of my savings account and send it to Nytro for a P2K, just last week. Well, it 's just the frame, fork and seatpost and I'm building it up from there.
I already have some parts for it but I really need a new seat for it and want to know what works best.
As you may know, I am near clydesdale in weight, so the fleshy bits get quite a workout, especially on horrific roads of New Zealand. I'm going to be doing IMNZ in March 04 and the course is very flat and very rough. This means not alot of time out of the saddle (hey, you try draggin' 82kg off the seat to go just that little bit faster). Therefore the rough road really pounds the hell out of the one and only perinium I have. Last IM (IMNZ 2000) I got a stress fracture in my pelvis! right by my perinium, from the rough road. Slowed my running just a bit, but I still finished. (hey I paid NZD$600 for the damned shirt so I was gonna collect it come hell or high water)
Comfort is my prime concern, not just for comfort, but because it's a flat course, weight is less of an issue. I don't want a saddle that looks like a potato chip, I want something my ass will be happy with. What are your recommendations?

p.s. Can't believe I'm talking about my "nether regions" with complete strangers :-)
