- The first Flite I owned did the same thing... the leather ripped where my
- thighs rub against it.... this happened in less than 3 months... The shop
- I bought it from gave me a hassel about returning it, but eventually the
- replaced it with another Flite.... Since then I placed a Nucleus Flite saddle
- cover over it and I its been fine ever since (that was about 8-9 months
- ago).....

- On another note, I have used the saddle over 5-10K miles without problems,
- except for above.... It was even comfortable during the 92' Death Ride...
- Although, I could have done without the rain.... As a note, I weight in at
- 140lbs which may or may not explain why I have not had much trouble with the
- seat.....
