Ron, you're on the right track. Every rider in the world has their favorite saddle that they swear by, but unless they are built *exactly* like you, the odds are their saddle ain't YOUR saddle. You have to ride them. Shops that offer saddle swap services are worth their weight in gold.

As to SloSpoke Jim's comments, many do like the Selle Anatomica. Pricey or not, might want to try one.

Frankly, when it comes to *anything* involved in your three points of contact with the bike, (hands, butt, and feet), price ought to be irrelevant. Comfort trumps all other considerations. Don't settle ... Select. However many hours of testing and dollars it takes.

And when you find YOUR saddle, hit eBay and buy 3 for each bike. Cause just as soon as you destroy one or just plain wear it out, the manufacturer will have discontinued that model. You can bet your sweet a$$ on it! Literally.
