How's the SLR working out on the Nomad so far? I rode one on my S-Works Allez and it was pretty comfortable for a road bike position, but I couldn't stand it when I swapped it over to my Sunday WC.
It's definitely not the most comfortable seat I have been on, that award would go to the stock Specialized seat that came on my wife's Stumpy FSR which now resides on the Double.
Interesting. I guess everyone's ass is different. My personal fav so far has been the WTB Silverado.

Very nice, all it's missing is a beer fridge and a tv/stereo and you could practically live in your shop. 
I know I would with scenery like that.

True, couches are essential. Or at the very least a large comfy chair.
I'm currently set up in half of our office/basement suite so all I get is office/dining chairs. My bikes are admittedly more comfortable to sit on.
Not sure whereabouts this room is in your place, but you could always knock out a wall and build outward a bit if it's near the exterior. Or, if you have a backyard or something with lots of room you could have an entire "shed" to use as a shop. Barred window, lock up the bikes, just as secure as inside the house. You could run an air compressor if you want to and not have to worry about noise from the motor annoying the wife/gf/etc(not entirely sure what your situation is).

CoucheS? I like. We are just renting this place for another year but ultimately I will be building my own shop, either detached or attached to the house.
Of course, plural. You need somewhere for other people to sit while your sprawled out laying down on the couch after a long day of riding/wrenching. 
Ah ok. Easiest thing for more room would be hooking one bike from the ceiling(much like your tires/armor) so it's above another bike, taking up half the room that would normally be required.

Yeah but it's a drop ceiling so won't support that weight and it's a lower ceiling so stacking them (like I normally do) is not an option. Luckily the Double has sold to make room for the V10. Maybe I will put my wife's newly acquired Demo (my old one) and Stumpy FSR in the room next to it...lol
Ah ok, quite a situation then haha. Perhaps another work stand to get one of them off the ground at least? Then tuck another bike close to it. Not as efficient as hanging but it works almost as well.
The Demo normally runs parallel to the Stumpy with one bike in the stand and the other to the left rear (closest to camera but not seen in pic) perpendicular to the Demo/Stumpy. It works and not too fussed.
Mmkay, I can't offer much advice then. Seems like you got a pretty solid setup... minus the couches and beer fridge and tv of course.
