Saddle help
 
This probably has been beat to death...
I am somewhat of a newbie...been riding since last summer. Looking for a good seat recommendation. Currently riding a Selle (Flight). Thanks for your impute :)

There are several saddle choices. It pretty much depends on what you want a seat to do. What kind of riding are you doing? What do you like or dislike about your current seat?
I have a Brooks B17, but it fits my needs, it may not fit yours.

I am riding three days a week averaging 110-125 miles a week. I think I am looking for more comfort and a little less pressure.

saddles are very personal.. It will take several saddles until you find the right one, if you're lucky ;)

Expensive saddles don't mean they are more comfy than the less expensive ones..

As for me, I finally found the right saddle, and its only $15. Tried the good stuff from italia, marco, brooks.. But the Velo felt better.. no pain after a century.. believe it!

I just switched from a Flite Ti to a Brooks Pro saddle... I have about 100 miles on it, and it is like butter... no pain at all... The Flite was good for me up until about 50 miles.. after that I had all sorts of pain...

Brooks B17 Narrow. Close to the specs of the Italian racing saddles but one hell of a lot more comfortable. And the more miles you put on it the better it gets.

I've been quite happy with my Terry Zero and they can often be found on sale on the net. It has the lines of the classic Italian saddles (made in Italy) and the cutout adds to comfort, especially over long distances.
