turbo or ta-bo samething they are comfortable to me
as others have said charge spoon selle italia xo series or a cromo rail slr can be had at a decent price if you want leather check out the cardiff saddles or vo they are pretty good after break in like a brooks try to find a b-17 on sale |
I like my $15 OEM WTB Rocket V way better than the Brooks B-17 (had for over a year, never got comfortable), Selle Italia Turbo or San Marco Regals that I had before. Comfortable right away and stays that way. Shape just works for me. Your mileage may vary. I don't really think more expensive saddles are better, just more expensive.

I'll try tilting re-fitting in the ways you recommended and see if that helps. If not, I'll give the charge a chance. If that doesn't cut it, I'll start surfing ebay for a more expensive saddle.
thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it |

Yeah, this is the problem with recommending saddles. Everyone probably has a few cheap saddles that fit great, but it varies so much from one person to another.
With that in mind, I'd recommend trying the cheapish Forte sale saddle of the moment. The previous version (Pro SLX) worked as my commuting saddle for years until my jeans started to wear through it and I decided to find a good-fitting distance saddle. I wound up with a Specialized Toupe. I still think the charge is worth trying for pretty much anyone at 32 dollars msrp. Unlike many hit or miss saddles I literally haven't heard of anyone who dislikes it, though of course some are more fond than others. It's very popular with the mountain biking crowd. |

Cheap, comfy and in stock. And I agree about aiming it a bit nose-up, it definitely keeps me from sliding forward. |

I rode around with a little tilt on it today and it helped but only a little.

Worst case, it won't fit your particular ass. On the plus side, I've heard much more positive than negative about the Spoon.
Good luck! http://i55.tinypic.com/1606eew.jpg
