Cheap and white, it's got to be a Charge Spoon. It's had some really good reviews since it came out.

why white? it'll showup the dirt in no time.

The FiZik Arione is without doubt the most comfy saddle I've used in the last 20 years - available in white but NOT cheap!

I've just lobbed one of them on my mtn bike. I shall report back but initial impressions are favourable, especially for £20.

I've heard only good things about the Spoon saddles - usually followed by " . . . . . especially at that price"

Will try one next for myself, especially at that price .

Heard many good reviews of the Spoon too.

One cheapie that I liked is the San Marco SKN - a tenner from Ribble when I got it.

The Spoon is great for the money, but a bit too soft for long distances in my view.

San Marco Rolls are great for £20 odd quid, but I don't think they make white anymore.

Have you seen they're bringing out a race version of the Spoon. Less padding, lighter and a bit thinner.

Well it's got a Rolls on it in the pics - just get a new one - loads of the pros are using Rolls and Regals...... very comfy, but also probably down to the bikes being under weight limits - the Rolls/Regal are close to 400g.

Or Flite Titanium...about 180g, but you need an arse of steel ! Good enough for 120 miles recently....

More details now, called the Knife, and looks very nice indeed. Racier shape, lighter, and less padded. Only comes in black and white though.

£40 rrp - more detail here; http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/article/mps/uan/3347

Just put a nice, black Charge Spoon on the SCR2 after the Royal Viper saddle was split open when my Mum / daughter knocked my bike over in the hall last Saturday.

I expected a little bit of soreness yesterday when breaking it in, as it's a stiff as a board in comparison to the extremely spongey and arse-friendly Selle Royal Viper. There was (thankfully) none. It was extremely comfortable from the word go and I completely forgot that I had a new saddle on after a few minutes.

£19.99 well spent at Winstanley Bikes !

(I see it got a very good review here.)

Hmm...I just got the spoon's sister the ladle - very little padding on that one! Only been out for 40miles on it, but seems really good - especially at that price longers!!!
