I have a WTB Speed She (available through REI for $35) in my road bike. I have done several long rides (62 miles to 105 miles...) and the saddle was not an issue beyond being tired of sitting on it. I have to acknowledge that I have good bike shorts (I like Pearl Izumi ultra and microsensor) and "going comando" made all the difference in the world.

In my mountain bike, I have a Serfas Women's Terazzo Select (http://serfas.com/performance_saddles/TRCW.shtml, MSRP is $100 but I got it for $60 in a local bike shop) which I like a lot. My MTB rides (1-3 hours) have not been as long as the road ones, but I do not notice the saddle.

Hi, Pll
well, that is really the bottom line with saddles. we're all different and what works for you might not work for me. But your post proves that you dn't have to spring for the most expensive saddle, sometimes a 25 dollar one does the job quite well!

And welcome to TE!!! WE'd love to get to know you.
