I know everybody's arse is different, but some saddles are better than others. Would prefer a vintage looking one.

My favorite cheap saddle is the San marco regal nockoff on eBay. I think it's a Murphy brand. Can usually pick them up around $20.

I've always wanted to try the Unicanitor. I like the looks a lot.

Once you're sitting on it, no one can see your saddle anyway. Use what fits your butt- you'll be a happier rider.
My preference is WTB brand saddles. The cheaper ones fit me better.

For me that would be a used Brooks. B17 or Professional. Picked up this pair last week for €60.
