I'm new to cycling this year, I couldn't stand the saddle that came with the CL bike I bought no matter what (even had a pro fit). I now understand how folks can have a wall of them hanging on nails. I bought an old Selle Italia and love it. Only one Century, but 45 mi consistently and numerous up to 60ish, a few further. Only got a little chaff from the left seat edge on the Century. Just two days ago I put on a used Selle Anatomica X2, a 35 & 45 so far, I think I have it adjusted now. If it's better than the Italia as a friend insists, then I'd be voting 10 instead of 9. I think the Italia is a good one for me though so it will either become a spare or I'll resell the X2 if it isn't right for me and go back to the Italia. My regular path includes a cobblestone bridge shoulder and a wood planked bridge over 4 lanes of roadway. The X2 certainly takes the transmitted surface rumble way down. Feels good enough that I've told myself I like it so far.
