Most of my bikes have some variation of the Specialized Phenom.



Yeah, it's a modern saddle, but it works well for me. Among its virtues, it makes it substantially less difficult to adjust a Campy two-bolt seatpost.



For the few bikes I own that merit a more period-correct build, I try to use something that looks right without being too uncomfortable. That rules out the Unicanitor, which is probably my least favor saddle to date. I've had success with a Rolls, a Turbo, and an Ideale of some kind.







I've never really felt the "magic" of leather saddles, but also never experienced the awful break-in pain that some people describe. I can take them or leave them, really.
