Who's left the building?

how much?
I got [url= http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Madison-Flux-MTB-Saddle_35827.htm?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=AdwordsProductAds&utm_campaign=Adwords&gclid=CLDo1Nm39LMCFSTLtAodR24ATg ]one of these[/url] which AFAIK is the same thing. Not as comfy as a flite but definitely good enough for the price.

Custom for not much extra yeah I may treat myself, custom costing a fortune, I won't bother.

There's also the Gusset R, if you like the Spoon but have questionable taste- same hull, slight differences in topping.

I used to have a snakeskin SGD Bel-Air, and blue and red ones with faux velvet sides.

I wonder what the lead time is and how custom they'll be. I could do with a couple of nice ones, and at least one completely tasteless for the dake of it!

Cool idea but way too much money.
Drop the price to £40ish and I'd have one.

Fark that's a lot. Presumably that's the Steel/Ti prices that's almost 3x the standard price!

Quite liked the look of these, but when I saw one in the flesh, the coloured ridge/piping is raised, and I can't see how that wouldn't be a nightmare.

I exited over the bars of a Charge Duster last month. Does that count?

Apparently if this is a success, then it'll probably be followed by the Knife and Bucket.

Shame the price is so high, if the rest of the saddle is also better quality components / lighter I might be persuaded.

I have one of those charge Pan's - a great, comfy long distance saddle. I do notice the width of the back when standing / big rocky descents, you do not notice the stitching at all. It is brilliantly comfy.

I love my spoon and am due a new one but there's no way I'm paying that price.

Just had a play on the site during the normal Friday afternoon boredom at work... it's surprisingly addictive!
