    Origin8 Concor saddle imitations any good?

    Hey all, I'm trying to pick up a saddle for my wife. The bike this is going on is quite 80s-tacular, and so she wants to match one of the frame colors with the seat. Those Origin8 Concor imitations have a few colors which would work. Are they any good? How's the foam (the wife is very concerned about comfort here). We tried one of those Charge Bucket Turbo imitations, but it was pretty bad. Any other recommendations that won't break the bank? How about those Kore saddles more in the Turbo or Rolls style?

    In my opinion, a saddle is one of the most important parts on a bike. All those Turbo knockoffs are the exact same thing. If she didn't like one, she won't like another just because it has a different logo on it. Cheap saddles aren't good and good saddles aren't cheap.

    There are worlds of difference between an imitation Concor and the real thing.

    Most uncomfortable saddle I've ever ridden. My anatomy tends to prefer a flatter saddle.
