OK im looking for a Good Comfortable saddle. What do you guys recommend? I love the looks of a Brooks Saddle but dont like the price. I want something that is kinda vintage looking and that will last but not a big price tag. Im building a Klunker Style bike but kinda on a budget.
Good saddle?

Velo Orange makes Brooks knock offs. I've never seen on in person, but everything I've ordered from them is pretty nice.

If that's too expensive, hard plastic and some miles. I know it's counter intuitive and not popular on this forum, but you get used to it pretty fast. If you have a wide rear, this doesn't apply as you'll squish and pinch the soft tissue and something wide to match is preferable.

I put this on my Collegiate
It has chrome studs across the back. Very comfortable with a vintage flair.

Those Velo Orange leather saddles are more then I've seen alot of Brooks go for. I paid 50 for my Brooks Professional about a month ago on eBay. This wasn't some beaten and haggered out saddle either. I've got it on my Giant road bike. I've got white Cardiff Cambria that is basically the same as the Brooks B15 Swallow. It still has alot of the adjustment bolt left to use so the leather isn't all stretch out. Otherwise if you really want a Brooks saddle. My local bike shop has a few under 50 I believe along with some other leather saddle. Origin8 has a leather saddle also but it's the same thing as the Velo Orange. It's extremely hard and heavy.
Here's my Cardiff

I've heard some good reviews of the tan Bell cruiser seat at walmart. -Adam
I've got a Ridable Bicycle Replicas Hairpin saddle from http://www.hiwheel.com and have been very happy with it. The price was great at $30 and I find it really comfortable for myself. It's a bit long, but has a nice soft plush spring ride to it.
