Can anyone recommend what seats are good, comfortable and still stylish?

One that fits. I went with one that was hard as hell, and did 'not' have a
hole in it. I certainly did not get it for style. It's black. Plain black,
and the the most comfortable saddle I've ever used.

Long story short......there seems like there's as many saddles out there, as
people with backsides. It can be a real crapshoot finding the right saddle.
I got lucky to find one that fit so easily.

I hear ya want to stay away from the gel saddles.

I'm thinking a carbon SLR would be sweet. Honey, where's the whip and
chains?

Thanks!

Saddles are a personal preference. Just get one that has
pressure points the same width as you tailbone distance.

Stylish? I'd go with leopard print myself.

I had one with a hole in the middle and it caused more problems than it
solved. It got replaced for one with a channel which is very comfortable.
Of course, as others have pointed out, it's all to do with personal
preference / anatomy and YMMV.

I (and a couple of others here) like the WTB Rocket V Stealth.

Like others have said, it's a personal thing. I, for one, would stay
away from bloated gel saddles. You'd think they'd be more comfy, but I
found them to be a hassle because the seat surface moved around too
much. Maybe they're better now, but...

Find a bike shop that'll let you try saddles. I went through six or
seven saddles from a small shop in Golden, CO until I found the one that
fit me the best. I'm REALLY happy with mine.

Also, get good shorts.

For the record, there are both male and female saddles with cutouts.
The difference is in positioning and shape.

Golden Sports Recyclery. It's north of the big intersection of 93, 6th
Ave, and the road that goes to Central City and Black Hawk. It's in a
strip center on the east side of 93 at a traffic light.

Randy and Carla are the owners. Stop in and say hi. Randy is also a
first rate bike mechanic.

BTW, I still haven't had a chance to get to that second hand shop in
Boulder to buy that $45 bike. :-7

I haven't looked lately to see if it's still there ... you'd think
someone in Boulder would snap it up.

Nah, it won't sell until a few minutes before I get there, no matter
when that is. :-7

You'll get votes for every kind of saddle from folks on a newsgroup, because
people here probably have every kind of ass. My favorite is the WTB stuff
with the groove...I run a Laser V on my main bike and love it. I also have
some weird Selle San Marco Dynamica Socca something that was attached to a
beater. It looks like [censored] and feels awesome.

I picked up a Titec Ithys-Amore for my new commuter based on word of mouth.
Everyone loves it, I find it to be a wretched piece of [censored]. Go figure; to
each his own. You just gotta try them out. My advice would be to get your
hands on a WTB anything-V, then try out some of the Serfas RX saddles.

I like/use the WTB Laser V with the groove. But then it comes stock on a
lot of bikes and was stock on mine when I got it. Fits my butt fine so
that's all ever I needed.

Asses are like opinions their all differ- ent. So go out
and try saddles till you find one. All my ass can take is SDG Belaire.
