The problem I find with choosing a saddle is it takes time for your body to get used to. (mine in any case) Got a Selle Italia SLR Ti and first week or 2 was average comfort but nothing longer than 2 hours please After 2 weeks or so, well let's just say this saddle was made for my butt - even 6 hour rides (contrary to popular believe that "race saddles" only work for short rides) Did a ride reasently on my previous very comfy saddle (Selle San Marco Aspide) and just could not get comfortable PS Decent bike shops carry demo saddles to try - but normally only for high end brand names
