Default Saddle Help!!

Hello Ladies, I need some saddle help!!

I have a 2005 Giant TCR Composite 2 (All blue and black) and the thing I loved about it is the BLUE saddle!

The saddle is $170 and made by fi`Zi:k.
It is very uncomfortable so I am looking for a new one but need help!


Here is what I am looking for.

-Higher end (Around the $100-$200 range)
-Women Specific (If not then i would love for someone to recommend a saddle that they use)
-Cut outs is preferred
-BLUE!!!

I know the last one is going to kill me lol! I cant find ANYTHING!

I know selle italia makes blue ones but trying to find a good one! Women specific hopefully)

PLEASE HELP ME!

THANK YOU !!!!!!

Nice ride.

The Fi'Zi:k Vitesse is actually fairly highly rated for comfort, and if you go to their Italian website, you can custom design any color you want. No cutout, though.

I've got a black Terry Butterfly with Ti rails, $110 from REI. I really like it. The cutout part is padded and very comfortable, so you don't encounter any kind of ridge rubbing up against sensitive parts (I HATED the Specialized women's seats for that reason). However, it is definitely not a cushy, heavy gel seat. I suppose you could try contacting Terry to see if they'd custom design a bike seat cover for you...

I found this site to be pretty helpful when I was choosing a bike seat:

Even though it's technically a mountain bike site, there are lots of road saddles reviewed.

eek! thats a heck of a request, there! good luck with all those specs at the bike shop i go to, the top selling women's saddles are the fizik - vitesse (solid) and terry - butterfly (cutout). i actually just purchased the butterfly this past week and i love it. first saddle i've tried that doesn't given me point-discomfort. as far as high end goes....pick the saddle that fits you best and feels closest to what you're looking for in a seat. and whatever the price? ...so be it. but with the blue? don't know what to tell ya for that. i have rarely seen a saddle other than black.

now that im looking at a pic of your bike...the blue saddle and black grip (right now) are backwards with regards to the frame colors. get a black saddle and blue grip and you'll have one banging bike!

but i definately recommend the Terry Butterfly.
