i'm a skinny mother****er and many standard saddles are a bit too wide and cause my ass to hurt from my thighs rubbing.

brooks swift and swallow are quite narrow. many 'tri' oriented saddles have an extended, but padded, nose to allow for a forward position.

I've got a spare 130mm specialized avatar. It's only been part-way up my ass, like, not even penetration or anything.

E3 fits my narrow ass like a glove and the price is right.

I'm a glad and narrow buy, so I appreciate a narrow saddle. The Selle Italia Flite is pretty narrow, I've been a big fan of that one for years now. I also used a Brooks Swift for a few months, until I realized that I had paid $150 for a saddle and sold it. It was quite comfortable. No one knows this one, but Serfas made their ARC saddle in the 1990s and early 2000s, they're super light, fairly comfortable, and extremely narrow.
