New Saddle
Hey, I got hit by a car last night and I need to get a new saddle. What saddles does everybody find to be extremely comfortable. I was thinking Brooks B17.
<sarcasm>PS- I was thinking one in British Racing Green, any suggestions?</sarcasm>

i've got a RavX Speedmax 200g, titanum rail. pretty comfy, took me forever to set it up right though. a cm in the wrong direction can make a perfectly comfy saddle horribly uncomfortable.

Fizik Poggio SG TT Ti Saddle
any opinions? looks as if it could be rather comfortable.
Selle Italia Flite Gel Saddle
i found one of these for a pretty good deal, but I'm kinda scared of the gel part... opinions?
gel just seems nasty..

you need a white turbo
used, of course
or... I think brooks makes a nifty racing green (brittish?) saddle.

Ti Selle San Marco Regals are the only saddles that matter.

Saddles are very personal! What's good for me, may not work for you! Having said that, I brought a Brooks B17 three weeks ago, and its the best saddle I ever owmed. Right out the box. Better than my Flight titanium (at least to my butt). FYI -Tony at IRO sells them for $55.

I have an IRO, the IRO saddle is the one that got bent when i got hit last night.
i was thinking b17, but im still unsure. and saddles are a no joke investment.
i know saddles are different to everybody, i was just trying to get some feedback.
