Another plug for a Performance product. I was using a Specialized Toupe 143 saddle on few on my bikes. I was doing a cross build and needed a saddle, so I thought I'd try the Forte Pro SL for $50. Best saddle I've ever had. Ti rails, a few gms heavier than the Toupe but worth the trade - off. I liked the saddle so much, I'm slowly converting most of my saddles over - althought the Brooks B17 stays on my SS.

I hope that saddle is as good as you say it is. I just bought one today on your recommendation after suffering with my old saddles for long enough. Was on sale in store for $45. It certainly looks comfortable. I noticed on the bottom it says Velo. I didn't realize Velo made saddles for Performance.
