Charge saddles [attention ladies]

[totallyfixed]

I have two of these, one on my geared bike and one on my fixed, and believe me you want a comfortable perch when you are twiddling at 180rpm on a fixed with long mileages. So impressed am I with this saddle [Charge Spoon, £20] that I am trying to find one for my better half who has now got an amazing pink fixie. The saddle she would like is the Charge ladies Ladle in black and pink, a beautiful looking seat but can I find one, can I heck! This has happened before with Charge saddles, they are so popular [and at that price is it any wonder] they sell out fast and all the websites although advertising them, when you get there are out of stock.
So has anybody:
A. got one; B. know where I can get one; C. Got a cunning plan to get one which you will divulge to me

Charge Cycles are just outside Frome near The Frome Flyer pub, Jenson Avenue, if this is any help

Thanks speck, unfortunately as you can see from my location, not anywhere close to there. Do you maybe have an email address?

Would be very interested in the views of any ladies who are using this saddle

wiggle have the brown in stock today, but black due late september

Try Minx - if they haven't got one in stock, Charge are only 'next door' so they might be able to nip out and get one!

Have just emailed Charge [thanks again speck], use Wiggle a lot but she wants it yesterday, girls being girls........Will try Minx also.

I've got the black Charge ladle on my mtb, and the brown on my road bike.
I love that saddle so much. (Massive Thanks to Punky Possum who wrote the review of it in the review section here..)

It's really comfy, and has solved my previous squishy saddle /girly bits problems.

But as to the pink one? Good luck with that! I really wanted that one too, but just couldn't get it anywhere.
If you do find a supply, please let me know, and I'll do like wise!

Hoping for some answers from emails tomorrow or from this forum, will post on any replies.

A word of warning... Just because YOU find the saddle comfortable does NOT mean your lady will find a saddle from the same company to be comfortable. I hope she does, but it is by no means guaranteed. Saddle fit and comfort is a very personal thing.

Just fitted one to my daughter's MTB as the channelled Selle she had was playing havoc. She loves it, but when we were looking very few if any stockists had the pink one in stock. A lengthy web search finds these, which appear to have the pink/floral one in stock. Bit dearer than most, but hey, she sounds like she wants it badly enough!

from minx, "
We'd desperately like one of those too- but they have been discontinued- arghhhhh!!!!! Seriously, we did try to get more, but without luck. I have been promised there is a new white version also with pink stitching on its way, but no embossed pattern this time:-(


I'm sorry.....

Let's see how Charge justify discontinuing something that is obviously in demand, seems a lot of the girls in London would like one too.

Can't help on Pink, but black is the best for a saddle....any light colours soon look crap....

I got the Knife because a colleague (fixie hipster) said the Spoons were comfy. The Selle XO wasn't up to the job being sat on all the time in a 'road' position on my new fixed.

They have a nice flat front end, which means comfy for me. Classic saddles, and I picked up mine via Wiggle for about £35 in the end. TBH, pound per buck and weight wise, nothing comes close....... 210g's for the Knife...

My Selle XO is now on the MTB - works great on that.....
