Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good comfy seat for touring? I know the Brooks B17 seem to be the fav choice but price wise here in Spore, its quite ex. Anything in the US$40-60 range?

TU! :)

I have always gotten my Brooks saddles directly from the UK (eg Settle cycles, St John St Cycles). Is that an option for you?

I really like saddles by WTB (I have 4 of them), but a lot of saddle/seat comfort depends on bike position. For the upright position on many folders a wider saddle is better, for drop bar bikes I like a narrower one.

I just put this one, a WTB Pure Race on sale from Nashbar for $25 on my DT Mini.

Not too many miles on this new one, but I really like my Speed V which I have had for a couple of years..
