And now I'm looking for a new one. The knackered saddle was a Decathlon v. light, v. comfortable and v. cheap.
A bit of searching tells me they were made by Velo and this looks like the replacement.

Any opinions on it?
Anything else I should be looking at?

Charge Spoon at the budget end (but still very good)
or Fizik Gobi XM K:Ium for all day rides.

Spoons are good for the money, but the stitching can wear away if you move about a lot.

Gusset R-Series is almost identical and is available without the stitching and seems to be holding up better.

Edit: Velo seem to make all the budget saddles.

Personal favourites are

WTB Rocket V
Charge Spoon

In both Cro-Mo and Ti railed versions, WTB is just a little comfier over longer distances and a tad lighter (WTB Ti Vs Charge Ti)

But what suits me might not suit you...
