Selle San Marco Saddles:
Rolls: too squishy soft.
Concur: These seem to vary a bit but the wider ones work very well for me and are super light.
Regal: Perfect
Several Regal-shaped models: excellent
Aspide: Super light, Super hard, yet surprisingly comfortable. Can't move around a lot on it like on the Regal (Tom Boonen rides a Regal so weight isn't every consideration).
Specialized saddles: Since they started making "body geometry" saddles they work very well as long as you get the proper width. Many Specialized dealers have some loaner models that you can try.
Vetta: Made a Concur look alike that worked well for me on a cyclocross bike.
Nice review Tom. The Aspide looks nice...but a bit narrow at 130mm's and not sure it will work with my sit bone spacing. Hear good things about the Rever and would like to try the Specialized Toupe as it looks like a very nice saddle as well. You seem to really like the Regal and I don't know anything about it.
