Selle Italia Flite on mine. Feels noticeable for the first few minutes and then disappears for the rest of the ride.

anything racy (thin/narrow) with cromo rails. don't sit on them a whole lot but have bent/broken many in my time through crashes/mistakes.

To the OP; When you siad you have been away from MTBing for 8 years does that mean all forms of cycling? If so then I think any saddle is going to hurt after extended riding at the beginning until your ass starts to get used to it again.
What Roter Stern says.
Give your muscles a chance to tone up before looking for a new saddle.Posted 11 months ago # -
Fizik Gobi for me (old and new model)
Tried Specialized body geometry and Bel Air with no luck.

+1 for WTB Pure V @ 155mm width ,not exactly XC lite but well padded and perfect for taking bigger hits

Newer WTB Pure models are a tad narrower @ 145mm though and not as comfy IMHO.Posted 11 months ago # -
i've had everything from Flites to Charge Spoons and right now the most comy saddle i've used is the WTB Silverado which is on my Turner Flux... I can ride all day and not feel any bad effects... gotta love their terminology though - 'love channel'...lol

Charge Spoon for me, I've got one on my commuter and mtb.

Specialized BG rival 143 on the road bike which is very comfy for me.
Old Selle royal from a giant ocr on the mtb, starting to hurt a little after a few hrs on the saddle.
Old Brooks champion special on the tourer. it is comfy, but suits more of an upright position and since I changed to drop bars has became a gooch killer.
Just get a couple of selle italia saddles off here. Going to see how i get on with them.

Is it just me or does the Charge Spoon and the Madison Flux look pretty much the same just different branding?

i'll be a wee bit upset if they ever stop making the CHARGE SPOON.

Another happy charge spoon user here. Cheap, comfy, not too heavy.

Charge Spoon/Madison Flux/Gusset R Series are all the same, I think they come out of the same factory.
Though the Gusset looks the best:

Charge Spoon for me too, but also really like WTB saddles - incredibly tough and long lasting.

Another vote for SDG Bel Air. Also still rate the Flight and I have heard over on retro bike that they are being made again.

+1 for the charge spoon

Fizik Gobi has turned out to be a winner! Replaced the Bel Air on the road bike with this. It's a bit odd how you sit in instead of on it, but that makes my back ache less
I'll be keeping the Bel Air on Albert though (mtb).

Selle Italia Flite for me----been using one for 15 years and it fits me right. Saddles are all a matter of personal fit and preference.
