New saddle time.
Bel-Airs are my favourite, but I'm just not paying that much anymore.

Spoons are fine, but the stitching rubs on long rides.

Anything around that's cheap, similar shape but with a smooth upper?

Ta.

I think there's a lot of different brands that use the Spoon shape - my YT Wicked came with one that is identical apart from the cover material.

Or, if you already have a Spoon, you could get [url= http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=17469 ]creative[/url]?

I have a couple of the same Velo 1205 saddles that the Spoon's based on but w/o stitching FS, PM me if interested as I'm having a clear-out at the mo.

Gusset R is the same "chassis" as the Spoon but with different covers (and possibly different padding- haven't had one in bits) and one is seamless.

Though obviously the faded-denim-and-fake-fur is better.

Madison flux is apparently the same shape but slightly different stitching. I think the Gusset R or something is similar too without any but looks a bit horrible

edit: beaten to the last bit

Gusset R Series (you need to say it aloud) is what you want.
