As in the title-these look quite good vfm and just wondered if anyone had an opinion to offer.
I know saddles are a very individual thing but still good to hear some feedback before I decide whether to buy!
I didn't like the one I had fwiw - too hard and unforgiving compared to Spoon/Bel Air

I've always found shape to be more important than padding. Mark Slate (a bit of a hero of mine) from WTB has ridden WOODEN saddles, hand carved, to get the right shape!
The model we have right now is quite minimalist so I can imagine if you want something squishy it's not right for everyone.
I've got one. It's in the photo below if you look closely.

That's the only ride I've had on it so far, but I sat on it for about 8 hours, with half of them being while spinning an off-road SS gear like mad on the road, and didn't have any issues.

I found it to be as comfy as the On-One Inbred saddle it replaced, but without the stitching which sometimes caused issues for me and it felt a lot lighter when I swapped them over if weight's an issue for you, though I don't weigh stuff so I can't be sure.
Disclaimer: Brant sponsors me and gave me the saddle, but if it had given me big blisters or anything I'd say so. (Brant, please don't send me a saddle carved from wood to try out.)
I've got one on my Ragley Ti. It's replaced my Fizik Gobi which was worn out and it seemed a bargain. Although there is not a lot to it, it seems a good shape and fairly comfy. If you want padding though, probably best to avoid?
i always use a ladies trans am ldy saddle
i'd go for a charge spoon, great shape and just enough padding.
It's a saddle you don't notice, which is a good thing
Spoon good
