    I have been riding the Selle Italia SLK Lady Gel Flow for about two months now. I have problems with it putting my crotch to sleep, but then again I haven't found a single saddle yet that hasn't done that. I just purchased the Specialized Romin Comp saddle because my sit bones feel more stable on it (i have 120 mm sit bones, so I purchased the 143mm saddle).

    I would just recommend testing out a bunch of saddles at a local shop (i tried out six in one day on a trainer).

    I rode on the SLK for a few months...until I noticed that one of the "halves" started to droop lower than the other half. And like Muireen, I thought the channel (or rather the lack of separation between the two halves) was not sufficient. I thought I had gotten a defective saddle (which actually might be the case), but I never did try and return it because it involved quite a bit of red tape (had to go through a distributor, blah, blah, blah). I ended up settling on a Specialized Ruby 155 and I've been pretty happy with it. I still get some minor sit bone discomfort whenever I near the 70-mile mark, but I'm betting that would happen regardless of which saddle I had on my bike.
