Comments about Charge Spoon Cromo Saddle:

Put in on my freeride hardtail that I regularly abuse. This seat is very solid, light, and comfortable on loooooong rides!

Great seat. This is a reasonably priced seat and comes in at a very light weight. I thought it would possibly be uncomfortable due to the limited padding but found it to be a good saddle after a 3 hour ride.

Comments about Charge Spoon Cromo Saddle:

Having seen so many positive reviews I was surprised to be disappointed with this saddle.

I wanted a cheap light-weight saddle for my XC hardtail. It appears well built, it's not heavy, it looked good on the bike, and it's reasonably comfortable to sit on.

The problem I have with it is that I spend a lot of time OUT of the saddle and it's got issues in that department. The finish is somewhat tacky and it grips fabric. It's also rather long compared to my other saddles, a little wider at the base, and has this protruding lip on the back. The combination lends itself to hanging up on my shorts as well as having an uncomfortable side edge against my thigh when I go behind the saddle.

I tweaked around with the height and angle and was never satisfied with it. It was just too easy to get my shorts hung-up and was generally uncomfortable when it would dig into my thigh. Almost had a few spills because of it.

I've relegated it to my commuter since where this is less of an issue.

Your mileage may vary...

Just as described.

The Spoon saddle has a very user friendly shape and it's well liked by many road and mountain bikers. Avoid the model with the black 'sueded' artificial leather covering - it's far too 'grippy' and does not allow the rider to slide around, which is an essential feature of any good leather saddle. Go for the smooth leather covering and you'll enjoy this saddle. It's hard wearing and well made.

I previously came from a Specialized Toupé, which I loved to death till it needed to retire. The spoon is a tad wider than the Toupé, but I can get used to it.

The "fabric" on there is a little grippy, and when I wear (my cool hipster raw) denim, it catches a bit. Otherwise my butt is in place.

Some say its a little hard, but coming from that Toupé, its softer.

I use this saddle on my all mountain hardtail, even without rear suspension, I still feel comfortable all the time. It really beats a lot of pricy product.

Obviously, if a saddle doesn't fit your particular nether regions, then nothing else matters.

Having said that, this is the most standard, tried and true design for modern saddles. Think one size fits most.

Breaks in after about a dozen rides which is pretty standard. Super comfortable, pretty light for a steel rail saddle, looks fantastic... Also, if it fits you but you find a way to complain, you must be off your rocker. Have you checked out the price?

Jenson... please carry more charge products. The guys out there in the UK definitely know what they are doing and they are bringing in street style to the trails. This, is a good thing. I am specifically asking for Surface brand apparel as well. Please carry. I will buy, as well as many other stylish riders out there.

I bought the black one. It looks sharp on my old steel road bike, but my nads go numb after more than two hours on the saddle. I will be changing this one out soon.

This saddle came stock on my Charge Grinder single speed and I liked it so much I bought one for my mountain and grocery getter/kid towing bike. This saddle is not for the weight-weenie crowd, but for the price it is just about perfect.
