This has nothing to do with your frame material, and everything to do with your ass, your shorts, and your saddle.

1) Your ass will get used to it. It simply takes time.
2) Good shorts will help a lot. So will chamois cream.
3) Unfortunately it's hard to recommend "the right" saddle for you, but a lot of people seem to love the new Arione. I've always been a Flite man myself, but would consider giving the Arione a shot if I had the cash.

I had some money to throw away recently, so I bought the Arione. Love it, love it. A very nice, firm all-day saddle. Similar to the Flite, but with a little more surface area for my ever-widening butt.

Hi Julian,

Are you speaking of the Fizik Arione? How does it rate on the "cushion" scale?

Thanks.
