I like the Ariones but local rider @sackville d had one of those Planet X saddles for sale at £10 so I snapped that up to see how I got on. The answer is "pretty well"! I think that Ariones are slightly more comfortable but I have done 12 hour rides on the Planet X without developing saddle sores so I think they are comfortable enough. I bought a second one from Planet X when they cost about £20. I think at £13 I might buy 2 more so that I have the same type of saddle on all of my bikes.These Planetx are a similar type copy:
Currently £13 for Black with CroMo rails.

I've a Fizik Arione cx saddle - it's the 2015 green team edition. Bought but I don't find it comfy. The name logo has come off the front a bit.

Yup, worth a punt DC. I'll pm you tomorrow when I'm sober!@rich p - £40 delivered for the green one if you're interested.
That is probably a fair price but I think I'll go for those Planet X saddles at the bargain price. I reckon you'd get £45 or something close on eBay if nobody goes for it here.Looking for £45 for mine, brand new and nobody's sat on it yet
