at the lower end of the market... Specialized discontinued the Windie XC which was my saddle of choice, after quite a lot of faffing around I recently got a Riva (women's version) as replacement. The faffing was partly cos it only comes in a 155mm whereas I had the 143mm before, but it feels pretty good.
It's cheap (£25 full price), and like the Windie XC a good all-purpose saddle for various riding positions. The main difference is fewer seams (+) and a less slippy covering (-), it grips clothing almost like a suede cover, which I'm not really a fan of... might lessen with wear. Not the lightest, but good value.
