[Closed] Finding a saddle, can you measure them?

I have a stock Concept SL saddle on my Focus Roadbike. It is the most comfortable saddle I've found. Unfortunately they are not available individually, otherwise I'd have a box full of them, one for every bike I own and a couple of spares!

Is there any way to measure it so I can find an equivalent?

Failing that, I assume they are likely to be a branded version of a generic saddle, are they sold under another brand name. I'm sure I read somewhere they are the same as a Charge Spoon?

Will let you know I have a Concept SL saddle on my Focus Killer Bee mountain bike and have just ordered a Charge Spoon for my Principia racer should arrive in the next couple of days. Also thinking about a USE SX Shokpost seat post just to make it that more comfortable.

I now have my charge spoon saddle and it is the same saddle as concept SL, where it does differ is the stiching location on the cover which makes the nose end ever so slightly more padded which in my opinion makes it that little bit more comfortable.

I think the most reliable measure is the contour/ x section of the top.
Make a cardboard cut-out of the shape of the "hump" on your perfect saddle. (Make a couple if you like at different locations). Keep it with you, then you can easily compare the shape of saddles on other peoples bikes and get one to fit.
