Interesting how little love here for selle anatomica saddles. I like the "classic" model (without a cutout) a lot and use it on two bikes: a 70s Fuji Finest and a 1982 Peugeot PXN 10. The Fuji has seen a lot of miles. I found that saddle comfortable from the start. I just mounted one on the Peugeot and took it out on a 25 mile ride yesterday. It's a neat saddle. I like Brooks pros as well but the SA saddle has nice long rails and is available with a cast aluminum frame (steel rails) if you want to save some weight (80 grams).
