Charge Spoon Saddle

[Christopher]

That's strange McaB - Evans in Manchester had stacks of Spoons on the rails . So I bought one. TBH not overly impressed with it so far - it is a pretty hard saddle. But only done about 10 miles on it so far. Previously I had a Fizik Arione on the tourer/commuter. Lovely saddle but it looked so wrong!

what, with the suffering 3BM has put me through, how could I possibly summon the energy to get to the bar?

If you can struggle enough to get that heavy wallet out, 3BM and I will carry it to the bar for you...

 

[MacB]

That's impressive impatience, I'd have just waited.

yep, almost childlike

I'd have let you have my wiggle voucher, Mac, saved you at least the cost of a pint. You should have said

that's terribly, TERRIBLY, kind of you but I couldn't possibly impose in such a manner

'my bad' as I believe they now say.

I didn't realise that shandy was euro-hip. Now I understand the rapha kit...

Fnarr. I doubt you do though in this instance; I bought my one and only bit of Rapha kit 3rd hand and unworn (apart from trying on-ism) from someone in here when I'd failed to complete the transaction when said goods were first offered for sale when still only 2nd hand elsewhere.

I'm a cheapskate who can't resist a bargain. (and I'll admit they are a superbly well made and detailed pair of trews amd great vfm for the price I paid but I would not even look at them at rrp)

Leaves me money left over to spend on beer

Methinks I doth protest too much......

Spoon Ti now packaged ready for return to Wiggle, didn't even fit it, what a hideous brown!!!!

You didn't fit it? Have you not stuck your ar$e in a baking tray of flour and measured your sit bones then?

I have to agree with Potsy.

 

[MacB]

I held it up against the bike, it clashed, what else can I say, and yes, I agree with Potsy as well

 

[Crackle]

3BM will be along soon to re-affirm the effete nature of brown saddles

Update on my Spoon: it's alright. Give it 3/5 overall. Certainly good enough to trash in CX or on the commute. Now the Fizik Arione I have on the fixed: now that's a great saddle: light, comfortable - but not cheap: got it for £46 and that was 50% off!

Charge Spoon in white on my Raleigh U6 Pro, looks OK to me

I liked my Spoon and we spent many happy miles together, until I also bought a Fizik Arione.
Paid £50 for the basic one off ebay. Then bought another one from the same seller for another bike because I loved it so much.
