Ritchey Saddles?
Anyone have experience with these? They seem pretty affordable...
Either:

or

Any other lower priced saddles to look into?

A friend had one of the WCS saddles... it seems nice but I really don't know much about their range. Seems like you don't hear much about them though which is odd because a lot of bikes use their bars/stems/posts and what not.

Yeah, but the saddle market is dominated by Fizik/Selle_X_/Specialized..
I just want a budget saddle! Problem is budget saddles don't come in white.

I've been looking at their saddles too, very affordable, decent looking stuff. I bought a Pro-level stem that I've been very happy with, I wouldn't think their saddles would be any less stellar.
It appears that the differences between their 3 saddles are the rail material and the cover material. Basic steel and synthetic for the Comp, Chro-Mo and synthetic for the Pro, and an alloy and leather for the WCS. The shell apparently is the same across the board.
If you simply want a white saddle there are dozens of non-branded ones for about $30 each on eBay. Most likely coming from the same factory in Taiwan anyways...

I've used the white WCS Streem. I liked it. It feels just like an SLR, just a few grams heavier. I traded it to Everest on BF, ask him if he likes it.

Bumping a very old thread to see if anyone has any experience with the current crop of Ritchey saddles. I've been drinking the Ritchey Kool-Aid and am thinking of either the Comp Skyline or the Comp Streem, but would appreciate any input on any of the other Ritchey offerings.
I'm finishing up a Road Logic build and bought a Fabric Scoop Race Shallow but it doesn't really agree with my bum. This will be for a riding position that's leaning toward upright, on the race-to-upright scale, and for longer recreational rides.
Thanks/cheers.
