Selle Italia Turbo. I'll cling to that to my grave (or I find a new favorite saddle, whichever comes first). There's a reason it was such a popular saddle for so long.

I'm generally of the opinion that, like so much other new equipment, new saddles aren't really designed for riding. They're designed for racing. The person who actually logs serious miles on them will soon find that they're not really well suited to the average cyclist or the long distance cyclist.

Having said that, I also realize that there are a lot of saddles out there and that that's a pretty broad generalization. I'm just feeling cranky over the overly "sporty" direction cycling has taken. Carry on.
