My saddle is a bit worse for wear, have Gobi on two bikes and get on well, wondering if there's something as light or lighter with a similar profile form another brand?
WTB Silverado, or the Chromag Moon, maybe?
They are pretty light - if it suits your arse why change.
I've got a gobi on one bike and get on fine with it.
On the other I've got a prologo and that's fine too, so they're worth a try.
Had an sdg and didn't get on with it (noisey), and the prologo was on sale at about 80% discount on a crc clearout so gave it a go and it's all right. Wouldn't pay full whack for it but I'm a bit tight like that. wiggle have some reduced at the mo'. But saddles could be one thing worth trying before buying- lbs.

The cheap Gobi deal I got seems to have vanished...
Ive got a couple of now tatty gobis.
they are expensive and im not looking forward to shelling out for replacements, but they have lasted well, got the first one in 2005 and the second 2nd hand in about '07. They are really comfy.
ive tried 'similar' and always gone back.
Fair enough...
I 'got on' with the Gobi which I then broke. Swopped for a Spoon (which can be picked up cheaply in various guises) and I find that more comfortable
I have a wingflex i have taken off my whyte xt120 that is in pretty good nick which is just lying around the shed. Keep meaning to put it on here if you are interested?
Not the Silverado! Not like the Gobi and not at all comfy IME.
SDG Bel Air or Charge Spoon for me.
The Bel-Air is LOUD!
whoa, how F***ing much.
i love the Gobi, but the Gobi XM is not the same, the flatter profile just isnt as good. So every 'affordable' model is now the fat arsed variant, the XM
looking at the current range, the Gobi OO is whats required
on CRC with 10% off, so now just £234.99
