Custom Charge Spoon prices.

I'm not sure if that sounds comfy or not

Ha, it's a northern England saying but rest assured the Romin saddle is great

I thought you northerners just gaffer taped a brick on the seat post.

For hard men (and women) north and south

The Real MAN ® saddle as recommended by Sheldon Brown

I find the spoon OK for round town, and up to about 30 miles maximim. I've bought 2, both in the 20 to 30 pound range, and sold one of them for about what I paid for it. The idea of a custom version at a premium price of what's basically a good value cheapish saddle just amazes me.

But, have you found a saddle that you are comfortable with for distances more than 30 miles? (I am fine on mine for hundreds )

Slightly agree. I have ordered a standard red one for 23 quid off ebay, and to get it with white stitching and other coloured bits would be 70 quid plus. At least we have the choice, it is not like they just hiked the price of what is a popular product to take the pi$$.

Yes. I use a Brooks B17 on the bike I do distance on. I don't have one of those on the round-town bike simply because I don't like leaving expensive components unattended on bike stands. (For the same reason there are no QR wheels, saddle clamps, etc on that bike either).

Interesting that I have a B17 on my tourer which only gets used for tours. I am actually thinking of trying out a Spoon on that, as the B17 gave me a sore bars eventually when I cycled to Spain from the UK (4 weeks). The B17 is several years old and done about 6000km but still seems hard. Not helped that the bike (Koga Miyata World traveller) is pretty unyielding

I reckon a scoop is about 100km better than a spoon.
