FINALY broke in my Le Para bare bones!

It only took 5000 miles or so. I was going down the road and realized my *** wasnt sore and it didnt feel like I was sitting on a sack of concrete anymore! My best guess is about 5ooo miles. Hang in there those of you with the bare bones.

Good question. But I know I can go almost 100 miles before monkey but sets in.

Seems like an awfully long time to ride around with a sore ***. Especially when you start getting monkey butt, as you say, at 100 miles. Glutton for punishment are we?

And I thought it was just me.

It took mine about 1000 miles, but it did soften up. And, like you, I was just riding down the road one day when it occured to me that my tailbone wasn't killin' me.
I love that seat.
