    Looking to buy a Charge Spoon, wiggle and Evanscycles only have them in Tan and it's fugly, would prefer black, only place I can find it in black is Ribble but the postage is expensive.

    Anywhere in Ireland selling Charge saddles and I could just buy it here?

    Or any other websites in the UK/Europe selling them for less than the €35 on Ribble?

    ........Just found it in a limited edition bag and gell grip combo thingy, it's the "gum series" and looks a bit different than the other spoon saddles I've seen?

    Cycle Surgery in Dundrum may have them - they certainly did earlier this year.

    Cycle ways, Parnell street, stock charge bars so I'd imagine they do the saddles too

    I got my charge spoon in ontrack, cook street.

    Hi Seaneh,

    I've a black charge spoon if you're interested. It has about 2k on it and is in perfect condition. €15? Based in north county Dublin.

    The Gum series seems to be practically the same, but with a gum-coloured underside (which will no doubt get covered in ****e after a bit of use :)).

    Is the tan one really that ugly? I picked one up for 12stg earlier in the year (after bending TWO titanium brooks) and very pleased with it. The arse covers it - It's not like anyone sees it! :)

    Seaneh has first shout obviously but I'd be interested too.
    Is it the suede or leather type finish?

    How much for postage?
    I'm in Galway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭1Anon


    Flip! Postage to Galway. I wouldn't have a clue. About €5 I'd say?

    To confirm, it's the kind of suede like finish. Moleskin I'd call it.

    Could ya throw up a picture?

    Sorry to be a pain in the arse, I'm interested of course, possibly interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 93 ✭✭1Anon


    Sorry Seaneh,

    Workling quite late the next couple of nights so might take me a while to get photo sorted, but will try to get something up by Friday. A photo wont tell you a whole lot really apart from the condition of the saddle, which is perfect. It's the black one here if that helps http://www.wiggle.co.uk/charge-spoon-saddle-with-cromo-rails/

    Managed to get photos. See attached.

    No problem Furiousox. I'll let Seaneh have first refusal but if he isn't interested I'm not too far from you so I'm sure we can arrange something.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,300 ✭✭✭✭Seaneh


    Yeah I'll take it, pm me and we will sort out payment and stuff, I was afraif]d it was the felt type finish but that looks fine.
