brooks fits me perfect. But i guess there's a saddle for every tush. You just have to go try out a few saddles to see which one fits ur behind.

If tempurpedic made a saddle it would be prime.

i think it sort of depends on the bike....
i have a fizik arione on my road bike, and brooks b17 narrow on the fixed gear.
the fizik is really comfortable...at first it seemed hard but after riding for a few minutes i dont even think about the saddle, which i guess is a good thing.

Unless your son is the second coming of Andre the Giant, you'll probably find that he'll be more comfortable with an English saddle. Oh, and don't forget a bridle, only those crazy hipsters rides "brakeless"

I just got a Velo Orange Model 3 saddle and am waiting for it to break in. (I've heard of some pretty ungodly break-in time on these things; anyone here have experience with them?) It's a little cheaper than a Brooks, and it comes with the right wrench (or, if you want to sound British, a "spanner") for tightening it up. It's worth noting that they ship fast, too.

I've been looking at those saddles as well I'd be interested to hear how you like it
