Follow up (as requested by 53-11) on the Selle Royal Prestige.

Well, my seatpost has been busted, but the mile I've put on it (I know, I know) has proven that it is a very comfortable saddle. It's hard to tell for distance of course, but it actually has the feel of a slightly broken in Brooks narrower saddle, like a Pro. It's firm, and seems to be very well constructed. It really forms to the sit bones (for me, at least), creating a pain free ride (my Titec was good, but I got to a point where the sides of it would strain my thigh. The Prestige has eliminated that problem).

Like I said, I haven't ridden the Prestige much, but for $4, I'd reccomend it to anyone looking for a new saddle.
