Selle Italia Genuine Gel Trans Am (Skinny one with Gel and slit in the middle) was agony.
Got a Brooks Swift and have been riding it for the past several months with several metric centuries +. It was and continues to be a pleasure. Pretty much felt good right out of the box.
For my new bike I chose the Fi'Zi:K Aliante. Did 63 miles on it Saturday (first ride other than a little ten-miler), and it felt pretty good. I could tell it wasn't my Swift, but I believe this one's gonna work out fine. It's got a little padding, but not too much. Overall I'm happy with my choice. Hurray for not having to go on another saddle search!!!!
(and with the new bike picked up over 1.5 mph in avg. speed!!)
