Hi,
saddles drive me nuts. I have been using a Serfas RX on my hybrid, but it's a 2 hour saddle.
I was thinking maybe Ti rails, but at 250 pounds,I am not sure I wouldn't flatten the rails. I want to try a little less stuffing. My LBS likes the WTB Speed V, but it gets a lot of negative comments. I was thinking something just a little narrower, and thinner, than the Serfas. I have looked at the posts on saddles here; perhaps I just have to try a bunch of different saddles. Btw, if you try to use a Brooks B17 on a Raceface XYZ seatpost, the saddle rails rest on the post pivot. This keeps them from flexing, and makes the ride harsh. I might not need that post on my new frame; but it's what i wound up using on my hybrid. It puts the saddle about an inch further back than most posts.....seemed like a comletely different bike after I threw it on.
