I need a :cuppa:
 
Which one did you manage to get in the end? Did you find a Ladle?

No. Well, not without paying through the nose.

Have ordered a Madison Leia instead, as that seems to be the closest match I could find in shape and width to the Ladle.

N.B. With all the extra fees for importing a Ladle from the US, the Leia worked out pretty well much half the price thanks to the free postage. At 26 notes, it's worth a try.

Glad you found something rather than not. It'd be good to know how it compares. When the Ladle becomes available again, I'm planning on picking up a couple - one for my daughter for when she's older, and one as a spare (which if my daughter decides to get more serious in her racing, she'll need anyway). My wife swears by the Ladle as the comfiest saddle ever.

Yep, I plan on doing a good road test / comparison between the two. It's always nice to have an alternative to fall back on if it does work.

I'm happy riding all day perched on my Ladle. And unpadded at that.

My wife rides unpadded too. Before the Ladle, she had the stock GT saddle (extremely painful) and the Selle Italia Donna (slightly less painful than the GT).

The SMP is tolerable for short rides, but realistically it's too curved where my sit bones go, and too wide across the nose. So once my legs start getting tired, it pinches at one end and chafes at the other. Ouch.

The stock Wiggins saddle is equally ghastly, but that's because it's designed for little people's bums, not that of an adult female with fairly wide hips.

If I actually had one, I might... :laugh:

Although I'm not entirely sure it would cover all the pertinent bits. :blush:
This one would!
