Loving the variety of bikes that the spoon is on.
What makes the knife slightly more pricey?
Is it just the Ti rails?

That a bit less padding, they aren't as robust as spoons. Mine flexed in the middle and gouged out a hole in the plastic underside from the seatpost bolt, but then I am a bit of a fat knacker. I find the Spoon comfier.

Green 29r bloody sweet hummerlicious!

Thanks Giantx4, I can't get enough of it, I hardly ride the others at the moment!

Quite tempted to try a Knife next time I need a new saddle.

Black rims,stainless spokes.....always does it for me!!"

thanks Lambchop.. I love it too 😀

Can anybody tell me if the brown leather/ti version has a smooth top or is it perforated like the black?

[u]It's smooth on mine. Brown Ti on my white Five[/u]

Any excuse to post a pic of my bike

And you can get them for £17.48 on the large 4-letter auction site. I've had 3 on various bikes, very comfy, I find them durable too. Wouldn't perch my precious ar5e on anything else now

Just had my 'warranty'* claim from Ribble / Charge rejected.

*It was 14 months old and had done 5000km. The cover was worn through to the padding on one side of the nose... However, I did expect the leather version to hold up longer than that - I've got Flites, for example, with several times that mileage on them and the leather is still intact...

So, comfy saddle for sure but they don't last too well and the leather / ti version isn't worth the £considerable uplift ime.

Just ordered another to replace the chronically uncomfortable saddle on my new road bike. I think for the price/wear/comfort they are hard to beat.

It's comfy. Cant be beat for the price.

Hurts my arse on longer rides though, for those I have a longer post with a specialized BG saddle.

No custom ones yet?

I've got a Spoon and 2 Knives, and my missus has a Ladle. All good 🙂

Considered a custom one for my new (Foxy XR) build in progress but decided if I was going custom I'd want Ti and Leather, and given what I'm spending on other, more complex bits - I'm not quite ready to spend £120 on a saddle mostly just to get a black Charge logo. So I bought a standard Ti/Leather one for £50 and I'm going to sandpaper the red logo back to black instead.
