My main weekend roadbike has a vintage Selle Italia Flite Ti saddle. Normally feels fine, but on a century ride this summer, by 80 miles it hurt. A lot.

The LBS looked at the wear marks on my commuter roadbike saddle, which is an old school Selle Italia Turbo. That saddle is comfortable for 100 mile rides. They said the marks show I need a saddle wider than the Flite.

So, in the last week, I've picked up three saddles to try. A Fizik Arione ($30 lightly used), a Fizik Anatares (rather beat up, traded for it), a Selle Italia SLR Flow (a big cut out and Ti rails, $20 brand new).

Woo hoo! I intend to spend the coming weeks taking an unseemly interest in my rear end.

Other saddles I use and like are Brooks B17 and Swift, the already mentioned Selle Italia Turbo, Selle San Marco Concor. The Brooks are awfully heavy, though.

What saddles do you like?. Can you ride a wide range of saddle, or are you only comfortable on a few types?
