Saddle Preferences/Guidance
I recently acquired a Specialized Elite that came with a Specialized 2005 Gel Avatar saddle. I don't like it, really. Before that, I rode 18 years on a Raleigh team bike with some other non-specified Specialized saddle, which was okay, but not great.
So, I'm looking to upgrade. What's good, what's not?

After that, search the forum as there are lots of saddle threads. FWIW, I switched recently to a Selle San Marco Aspide Arrowhead and I've never been happier. If your sit bones are shaped just like mine, you'll be comfortable too.

I have been very happy with the San Marco Era on my road bike and the San Marco Rolls on my commuter.
You might hate them as much as I like them.
