I'll be out of town for a few days and my Litespeed hasn't been to the LBS where I bought it in a while so I dropped it off for their "forever service plan".
While I was waiting I was looking at the saddle (Terry Fly Ti) and thought it was getting kinda ratty looking and way too spongy. So I looked through the saddles on display and spotted a Selle Italia SLK. I liked it and bought it.

Now I want all of you with this saddle to tell me I made a good choice. ;)
I won't be able to ride and try it out until I get back in town on Monday and pick up the bike.

No bike, no BikeForums, no computer for 4 days. :cry:

I love mine, took a little adjusting from the Specialized Sport or Comp that came with my Allez, but after I got past that :D I find I can move up and down it easily and still be comfortable and the cut out lets me stay in the drops without discomfort. My only issue with it is the nose is a little too narrow when I move to the tip of the saddle so I can't stay there as long.

I've tried lots of saddles in the past 4 years - Fizik, Specialized Body Geometry, Serfas, Terry, and one or two others I can't remember. Every time I change saddles it's an improvement over the previous one.
The Terry, Serfas, and SLK all have the cutout and the Terry is the same size and shape as the SLK (same narrow nose).
