Have fun with it.
Looking forward to your impressions.
Is that itty bitty saddle comfy ?

It's way too soon to tell, Dean. It has only a little "divot" in the center, so it's not a "true" split seat like I have on my Specialized. However, I popped for the second, optional (softer) seat post, so I'm going to play around with those a bit, and possibly mount-up the split Specialized seat, before I make any decisions about the stock seat.
And since I only have 28 miles on it so far....

Should I be considering a seat post suspension too? I had always imagined that they would drain energy from forward propulsion to bouncing up and down.

These guys are the class act in headsets, etc and the Thudbuster is verrry popular with us REAL bicyclists, you know, getting muddy.
But they do make a model for sis, ... errrr, Roadies, too.
And just so you know Bill, "real" bikes don't have suspensions!

The optional post shaft I bought isn't really a "suspension", but rather it just flexes more than the stock post shaft (much like the rear frame on this bike). It's more for "fine tuning" than anything else....
I've not ridden a bike with one of these "seat suspension" dealios (pictured here), but a fellow rider, Kerry, has one on his ride, and I'm sure he would be happy to talk with you about it, if you're thinking along these lines....Spring ("tractor") seats, IMO, just suck-up your energy, and as such, are not to be considered. (Of course, your ass may tell you otherwise....)

I have never seen one of those before.
Kinda' funky looking, but easy to imagine how they could soften things up.
