I always see people ask "What saddles do the pro's use?" This usually ends up in a ball of flames with responses such as "your not a pro" , "ride what you like not what the pros have" , "they get paid to ride that saddle" , and rebuttals such as " they are in the saddle for 5+ hours a day, they ride what's comfortable."

Whatever your view is I don't care but I decided to put together a list of what the pros are riding. There is definately a pattern. Here is what I came up with so far. Lets try and keep it clean and if you know of anymore let me know and I will add it. Thanks
