Charge Spoon... Slightly harder to find at £20 now but not much over that.

Madison Flux - cheaper but 'as good as with regards to quality' version of the above.

saddles are a very personal thing

i like charge spoons or on one big nose

wtb and sdg also have lots of fans. unfortunately you need to try em till you find the right one...

Id say the Flux has a marginal amount of more 'give' in it, in the right way!

Flux looks better as well

They're essentially identical just rebranded. I like my Madison Flux.

The Selle one on Ebay is known for being very uncomfy!
