Women's saddle, and seatpost

[winjim]

My wife has decided to get a bike, so she wants to try mine out to get a feel for it and see if a drop-bar roadie is for her. She is about my size, but I don't think she'd be too comfortable on the razor blade that Genesis call a saddle so my plan is to get a separate saddle and seatpost that we can just swap over depending on who's riding the bike at the time.

So if anyone's got a women's saddle and/or a seatpost going spare please let me know. Not too fussy about specifics at the moment, and would be happy just to borrow for a bit and return once she's had a chance to try the bike out.

I can lend you one of these for the cost of the postage (should be around £3)

If all goes well and I end up building the bike I think I'm going to build, then that brown charge ladle looks ideal - except for the stupid blue rails! Who picked them?
