Guess we are all getting somewhat bored. I know that I am and, for what it is worth, I gave some thought to starting a "favorite saddle" thread myself. Now, I don't have to.
I have built quite a few bikes and, like so many people getting vintage biking, I bought into what others said I should think. You know - "steel is real", Brooks is best, lugged is best and more.
These days, I go with personal experience. My absolute favorite saddle is the Mundatalia (excuse spelling) that I have on my Jamaica bike...
My next choice would be the Brooks B17 and they usually feelgood, right out of the box...
The Brooks Pro will, most likely, never get my vote for best saddle. They are not comfortable, for me...
