Spoon from Triton Cycles, at checkout you can like them on FB and get an extra pound off, then delete the like from FB. Works out as £17.50 posted for all colours.

flux/spoon works for me, not quite as comfy as my usual flite but it'll do, infact I've had a spare flite knocking about and haven't bothered to replace the flux so....in the comfort:laziness ratio it's doing well.

like piknmix said look around and they are silly cheap.

I have a load of saddles to clear out of the garage if you're interested? I think one might be an SDG

my SDG is coming to the end of its life after 4 years constant abuse. Would like something a bit more exciting but hard to justify anything else as its very comfortable, hardwearing and good value

I love my Flux, just got a 2nd for my other bike and I find them better than spoons. £19 from Freeborn cycles too.

The flux is equally as comfy as the Spoon, but seems to be a lot harder wearing and better constructed. I've had both and the Flux is the better option, I'd say.

Personally I use an SDG Bel-Air, I like a bit of bling.

Only trouble with them is the stitching can ruin your shorts. Scoop maybe a better alternative albeit a wee bit more expensive?

I've used charge spoons for about 5 years, but recently changed to fluxes. They're a touch cheaper and I find them more comfortable. If it matters, it's about 25g lighter too.

Also have both flux & spoon, flux my choice as it has slightly softer foam 8)

spoon and flux are both good budget saddles I've had several of
both but would say the flux is my favourite and defo more comfortable and more durable imo .
