@lucas I'm with Ed on this one - saddles in that style (Selle, Arione) all hurt me really badly. They curve away well before my sit bones are in contact, so I perch on the outsides of the saddle, the weight gets taken on the inside part of my sit bones, not on the flat underside and the neck of the saddle digs into my perineum. It's so uncomfortable.
At the moment, it's all about wide, very flat saddles for me. Hence the Alias, which was great out to about 65-70 miles.
I don't really care what a saddle looks like (or the rest of my bike really). I can't pedal it with my eyes - it's all about how it rides.
