Sonny, you and I were shopping at the same time as a matter a fact your orginal post made me want one. So I got mine around 3 weeks ago. I bought mine at the same Bike Barn as you did. I got the womans Specialized Myka Mountain. The seat was hard for me too so I went to Academy and got a gel wrap around seat cover. It fits on like a glove or sock. Problem solved! I love my bike! I need to post some pics also.

I got mine in black with a cool butterfly pattern.

If y'all get the gel saddle add on don't forget to adjust your saddle-move it down a bit.

New bike tweaking: If your thighs burn after riding awhile, move the saddle up. If your shins burn, move the saddle down. When you get the saddle height just right, you can ride all day and not feel anything. Different shoes will affect saddle height too. That's why it's best to have one pair of shoes for riding. Stiff bike shoes and proper pedals are best.
