I think you can see by the range of responses in this and other saddle threads that you really just have to try stuff out. I got a Brooks B-17 and have put over 5000 miles on it, but I honestly have to say I'm not perfectly satisfied. Sure, it's more comfortable than some saddles, but I have perineal pressure problems after a couple hours. I just ordered a selle anatomica saddle and am looking forward to trying it out!
