Performance Bicycles has the Selle Royal Viper for $25.00. Hands down the most comfortable good-looking (meaning non-Brooks and non-mattress) saddle I've ever ridden. Looks a lot like a Fizik. The only downside I can think of is that it's foam-injected, and vinyl (not leather) covered. It may end up not being very durable, but at $25.00, get two and keep the other for when the first one gives out. I was just amazed when I tried it out. I got my first one as a take-off from my LBS, and it was so comfy that I spent a week trying to find one in black (the take-off was from a Giant and is silver/grey, with Giant graphics). I finally found a couple on ebay and new on two sites: Performance and St John's Street in the UK. After trying and failing to like Selle Italia Flite saddles, I never thought I'd find a decent-looking saddle that would make me take my Brooks off the frame, but these Vipers feel beyond great, they look as good as a Flite, and the price is ridiculously low. Oh, and I don't work for Selle Royal, Performance or SJS.
