I ride 24 hour bike races. If Brooks saddles were everything people say they are, well then the 24 hour racers would ALL use them. But none of them do. Why? Because there are much better alternatives out there that also weigh less (and cost less)...

Big bike shop, try several different models. Most shops have take-offs where the original seat wasn't good for the rider and they bought a different one. Specialized makes very good "factory" seats. Their Body Geometry line is very good. I've got two of those on different bikes. I also like Terry seats.

Bike seat comfort is important. Not only will you ride further in much greater comfort, you will also avoid certain health issues. Another big plus - there is no "break-in" on a good seat. With a good seat, you don't use your nether regions to beat the seat into compliance - it fits right to begin with.
