Selle Italia Trans Am is a nice saddle. It's a bit pricey, but then saddles are one area you don't want to go cheap on...
you may also want to try a product by Paceline called Chamois Butt'r. Great stuff, especially if you like to go long and hard, or both! have fun.

The same goes with shoes; some people buy nikes, other diadoras, but everybody knows that Sidis are the best.

I've tried them,the fiziks and none worked for me. I take it with a grain of salt all the riders that bought one,200 bucks worth and they all love them. If i paid that and could'nt return it,i'd love it to.

I love the WTB Speed She, rode 426 miles this week (a six day tour + a century), no problems. I absolutely hate saddles with cutouts, including the Terry Butterfly.
I also prefer Ti rails, even though I'm small, ti rails feel more supportive.
How's your bike fit? No saddle will feel good if your fit is off!
