It seems that only a few members of this mailing list suffer from the
*seat-problem*. They must have high quality butts! :-))
I heard, a possible reason could be, that many AT-Riders owned
Dominators, etc. before. And if you have survived the seat of a
dominator you'll feel very comfortable on an AT. :-)
The AT is my very first bike, so I can feel with you!
As I have mentioned in former mails, Goetz offers a foam and cover for
100 DM which is much wider than the original one (I use it an I like it
much more!)
Corbin offers a complete saddle. I hope that Florian Mosch will report
his experiences, when he has testet this one.

Try to upholster the foam from Goetz with a layer of soft foam. This
improves comfort again.

I tried this first. It's better but it's not the *real* solution (for
me). It doesn't make the seat wider.
I've read that the seating comfort also depends on the form of the
pelvis (Becken) of the rider. So different persons with the same height
and weight feel differently on the same seat of a certain bike! For one
person a flatter seat could be better for the other not.
Greetings, Martin!
