Aye up, I am doing ten under Kirroughtree in a few weeks and want to get a new saddle pronto so I can break it in/get used to it etc.

Moneys too tight to mention at the mo but can prob spend about £40 or so on a new one.

Have always used spesh saddles out of habit/brand loyalty. Looking for something light and cheap if possible- I know spesh, wtb and others all do good ones but not sure how much saddle I can get for as little as possible?

Any ideas??

Anyone tried those SDG I-beam saddles?

I have a decent thompson post so not looking to change that at the mo as well, heard good things about the Ibeams though..

look like a gimmick to me.

They work OK but you have limited availability of models as it's basically only SDG that make them (unless you know different). I've ridden I-Beam for about 3 years now and have just gone back to railed seats and a Thomson seat post. Still Ride a Bel Air though. Great seat.

I'd say that the main comfort issue is that the I-Beam seats carcas don't flex as much as a regular seat. So, can be a bit harsh on the bot-bot.

Comfy bum is moocho importanto.

Cheers Nobby!

Was gonna go for the charge spoon but for another £8 the bel air looks like a good bet.

Charge Spoon, I only have the cheap £15 one [special offer at Wiggle].

As with all saddles you have no idea if its going to be comfy till you ride it, this was didnt even notice it during first ride.

SDG Bel air RL ti railed one for £28 in local lbs....sounds like a good deal- what do you think Jon, et al?

SGD Bel Air suit my ass just fine.

I got mine from on-one.
