Brooks Swift, or Pro.
They can now both be had with Ti rails, and are good for a lifetime. I just scored a 1976 Pro, and it feels like my nnew Swift.

Ebay usually works when something is discontinued, and its fun.

After using variations of Turbos and Turbomatics for 20 yrs., I switched to Regal this year, and it's now my favorite. The latest turbomatics seem to break down rather quickly, becoming swaybacked. The Regal is flatter and firmer.

thanks guys its kinda funny cause i looked for new
turbomatics and found them but thought if there
discontinuing them maybe its time to look at
something else and the two other saddles you guys
recommended are what i was thinking of it looks like
the brooks is real flat but is the the regal more flat
than a turbomatic. Now which one will be more comfy
to me w/o buying both ?
