My Phenom SL is creaking and probably worn out (tried all sorts to stop it). Looking at the newer Phenom Pro or possibly the Fizik Gobi XM. Anything else to consider around £70-120ish? Mustn't be white!

Allow me to be the first of many to say "go to a shop and try them out"!

The first thing I did when I got my road bike was get rid of the horribly uncomfortable Arione it came with. I sold it to a bloke who thought they were the most comfortable saddles known to man!

Everyone's arse is different, and nobody is going to be able to make any recommendations other than what fits them, so you're going to just need to try some on for size...

Last week bought a Charge Spoon, following discussion on topic below...

Very comfy. Easy to move around on... and for less than £20..

In which case Id just get the Phenom. Just wondered if any others are similar? Sadly the words "local" and "bike shop" are mutually exclusive in this part of Cornwall.

I don't tend to hang around - 143mm Phenom Pro just ordered. £75 from Cyclesurgery (RRP is £100).
