First, get the fit of your bike right. If the fit isn't right, no amount of money will buy you saddle comfort.
Then save yourself some time and money, and try the most popular saddle on the market. If the Brooks B17 doesn't send you to heaven and back, you can sell it for close to what you paid, and look at the rest of the billion different saddles out there. Lots of people foolishly buy saddle after saddle, and then finally buy a Brooks B17 and never look back. Be smarter than them (and me). Just start with a B17.
