I have a Brooks Champion Flyer on my touring bike. No numbness at all with it, but as there is only 20 miles on it its a bit hellish on the sit bones. Its only getting better though.

If your curious about Brooks saddles, I highly recommend Wallingford Bicycle - they offer a 6 month return policy on all their Brooks saddles.

My second favorite (and really my only other favorite in the fleet) is the Nashbar Men's TFX, currently on sale for $30. I have this on my road bike.

I like it, but unless its a good day an hour is a bit long in the saddle. Luckily my commute is only 45 minutes at max.

I don't know your gender, but if your male having problems with "taint crushers", then a firm, or ideally a leather saddle helps more than any cutout. All my saddles with cutouts (with the exception of the TFX) allow me to sink so far into the padding that it ends up numbing parts anyway.
