help me find similar saddles - anatomical cut-out starting at rear of saddle
similar to the Selle Italia SLK or Specializd Toupe.
I was going to ask this in is roadie forum but a thread with people crying about falling over in their clip-ons convinced me not to bother.
I know I can go to a bunch of sites a look at pictures, and I will do that, but let me know what you know.

Love my Specialized Romin. Would have gotten the Evo but my LBS didn't have it in my size and I'm impatient.

I've had both the Toupe and the Romin. The Toupe is nice, but he Romin is much nicer.
Unfortunately I had to switch from the Romin to a more beefy staddle (Fizik Aliante) because our track is hard on saddles and my teammate and I both broke our Romins during the first few weeks of racing.
Don't let that dissuade you. The Romin is a great saddle, it's just that our track is tough on saddles. Several saddles of all makes/models break or bend every season. I had to switch to the strongest, sturdiest that I could stand. The Turbo was my next choice after the Aliante.
When I'm done with my Toupe on my road bike, I'll replace it with a Romin.
