Suggestions invited for cheapo saddle

[danphoto]

I'm delivering my old Dawes Mojave to its new owner tomorrow, and he knows he's bought it without a saddle ('cos the Brooks on it fits my backside and I binned to original one ages ago).

When I was arranging delivery with him just now, he asked me what I'd recommend by way of a saddle. I said I had no idea, but I'd ask and let him know tomorrow.

So, any ideas please? All you have to go on is that apparently he's a big lad and well heavy, the bike's a 23" frame with straight bars, and the seatpost in it is an ally one with the "micro" adjustment to clamp rails like on a Brooks B17.

I'm also giving him a bog standard cheapo seatpost of the type which has a smaller diameter at the top to which the old-fashioned type of seat clamp thingy fits, so AFAIK whatever saddle he gets will be fittable (and if that's not a word, it should be).

Given that he's paying me £100 for the bike, I doubt he wants to spend more than he has to on a saddle for it.

Any suggestions most welcome!

The charge spoon for about 25 kwid seems to get a lot of favourable reviews.

The £6 Lidl one was not half bad, but that was in their cycling sale before last.

Charge spoon.

I like the charge spoon, but Specialzed BG is better!

Spoon's a good 'un but there's also one sold in the past by raleigh (the overlander I think)and one one that looks like a fizik arione but costs 16 quid or so and I've got two. I'll try and link it when I'm in front of a proper pooder.

I have the Charge Spoon and love it, I honestly thought I'd have more issues getting a saddle I like...

I've been quite impressed with this Bioflex saddle for about £20.

this is the one. Gone up in price a bit but very very comfy.
