I have a Flite Carbon Evolution from the late '90s on the road-racer. Flexy carbon shell, ti rails, no padding. The road-training bike has a WTB Silverado.

+1 SMP GLider

SMP glider has been my saddle for past year or so but considering demoing the Fizik Aliante carbon as with the SMP glider I have been feeling some pain after 50+ miles in the sit bone area. Most if not all the reviews I have read seem to indicate the Fizik Aliante carbon is comfy especially for the longer rides.

Specialized Toupe (here on my tandem).

My stoker had a Specialized Ruby, but found it uncomfortable. She likes the Fizik Vesta.

Can't deal with the Arione design. Just feels bad. But I absolutely love my Pavé. Weird that they come from the same company. Different shapes for different butts, I guess. I also have one on my MTB. Not sure if that counts as two for the count or not.

Just did a saddle demo of a bunch of different saddles and...

All Selle Italias = ass beaters
Had high hopes for Selle San Marco Regal alas = ass beater
Fizik wins for me = Arione is possible next saddle and I ride an Aliante Carbon now

I do however have a Brooks B-17 in my sights.
