New Saddle

[ChrisEyles]

Black and white and grey is a bit too tasteful for true 80's camo bar tape hideousness surely? Can't you get it in blue and fluoro yellow?

Got to say it looks pretty smart in that pic though!

If the shite fits, wear it

That was once a lovely looking bike!

It`s never ever been lovely looking

Or even a Charge Pan if you can get one. I have 2 Charge Spoons and a Charge Pan. The Pan is slightly wider and still looks good on my carbon road bike. I prefer the Pan. It was comfy for me straight out of the box.

The thing about saddles is that they don't need to be expensive to be comfortable. I bought my best saddle second hand for a few quid. Its a Selle Royale in a rather nasty fake carbon finish buts its supremely comfortable for me.
The Brooks Cambium has had some good reviews and comments on here

I've also got a Selle Italia which I like and is similar to the Spech you linked.

I finally found comfort on a brooks b17 imperial - around £70 on amazon.
But saddles seem to be a very personal thing.

I found the charge spoon ok for short rides, could not get on with it on anymore than 20 miles.

Same.

Indeed kingrollo, saddles are a very personal thing; what will be heaven for one is hell for another. I've been riding a Viscount VT2 which I've had for at least fifteen years and I've switched between bikes on occasions and never had a bit of trouble with it. My tourer has a saddle I took off a Giant Halfway I had a while back; again no problem.
I do hanker for a Brooks B17, as my memory of a B5N I had back in the late sixties is of great comfort.
