Quandary...

My Equilibrium is due to be built 1-2 Feb...The frame is copper and I am accessorising with grey (tape, bottle cage etc). The only decent women's saddle I can find in grey is the rather pretty Specialized Oura Expert which is £80 RRP.

Now, I have one on order from Tredz as they had a £10 off deal (every little helps and all that)...however, it won't be in stock until late Feb, so it won't be on the bike when I hopefully get to ride it :ohmy:

Now, Evans do claim to have stock in my size (ample :biggrin: ), however at RRP (less 4.5% Quidco)

I have a perfectly serviceable Selle saddle but it's black so it just won't do long term at least!

So my quandary is this - do I cancel the Tredz order (they have called to offer me this option, 3 times in the week indeed, bit keen, but good CS I guess) and buy from Evans which will cost me a whole £7 more?! Not many places have in stock and there seem to be limited deals

Advice? :whistle: :biggrin: :blush:

I'm far too impatient to wait and I would want my new build to be exactly how I wanted. £7 is not much compared to the cost of your bike, go for it.

This is kind of my thinking...Hargroves have it too, with 5% quidco so better than Evans (by about thruppence lol)

I keep waiting for deals...I could hang on for a week or two

Indeed, but not reduced prices with voucher code I don't think. The price on the Tredz site is £80 but they have a tenner off at the mo if spend over £60

Ah, missed that...ordered now, did acquire a fiver off plus quidco. Normally something has to be in stock for a match too

I have the Diva in black, but you can't get it in grey. It'll be going on the flat bar commuter

It's a good saddle but I was very sore after the 100 miler

The Oura arrived from Evans yesterday ready for the Feb build
