Well, my stock bontrager saddle is kind of hurting my butt after somewhat long (50+ mile rides) every day. So, I am looking to upgrade. The Selle Italia Turbomatic 3 from nashbar looks like a steal ($40), any other suggestions?
Edit: Sorry, forgot to specify. Comfort is most important, as I am a recreational rider/commuter.

LOL. I just made post concerning saddles. I can share mym personal experience. The new Selle SLR I got is turning out to be much better than my older Lookin, and Schwinn gel saddles.

try this performance at a killer price, it worked for me. Can't beat the price, it looks like 120 dollar saddle
