Bikes: Cannondale super V 500, Bianchi Piaggio(hopefully getting a new road bike when I get some money)
I ride a Selle Italia Flite and it's pretty good. I find it comfortable and it was a bargain for $20(bought it from performance the second a customer swapped it off his bike
)
I did want to try the Fizik(correct spelling of "physik"
) Arione as I test rode a cdale with this saddle and I found it pretty comfortable on the 10mile test ride.
BTW I have heard some people say that the gel in the seats gets kind of hard and lumpy after awhile. doesn't sound too good. I have only heard this though, I haven't owned a Gel seat yet.

Saddles are a very personal thing. What works for my butt, might not for yours.
I have a different saddle on each of my bikes.
My favorite is a Salsa Zona Tres. I bought it on clearence for $15.00. Should have bought 5 of them.

From: over here!
Bikes: 2005 Rocky Mountain ETSX, Surly Crosscheck, 2000 Enduro Expert (sold), 1999 Rockhopper, 1984 Trek 520 (STOLEN-but recovered!), $7 rigid MTB from a police auction (broken, then stolen)
I just bought a WTB Power V Comp DH saddle...It's pretty heavy but really strong and very comfortable. Good for all-around trailriding and freeride applications. It's slightly wider than the Rocket.
