Saddle recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a decent saddle for a hybrid bike? Mines fallen apart and needs replacing (standard job that came with my Specialized Sirrus)

    I'm not looking for a hard leather job that I have to wear in, and I like my nads the shape they are, so I don't want a bulbous front bit that massages my prostate as I cycle :D

    I commute every day and do the occasional 30km spin - max 100km a week these days, so any advice welcome...

    I found the Selle San Marco to perform grand till I moved to a hard leather job. Cheap, too.

    A bit pricey but THIS was the best 90 blips I've spent on cycling. It's a lot more comfortable than it looks. I've never had any saddle problems since I bought it.

    I used to use San Marco Rolls saddles and assumed that all saddles were mean't to be that uncomfortable. Sitting on them without proper cycling shorts was actually painful. I chagned to to a Specialized Alias (see clown bag's post below) and was amazed at the difference. It took a couple of rides to get used to but the difference is amazing.
