I am after buying saddle to finish a bike build for my girlfriend. Are there any recommendations? as last time she rode a bike she used my bike with Charge Spoon it, she could barely walk afterwards 😀

Although she didn't get on with the Charge Spoon, I would try the Charge Ladle which is the ladies version. It is crucially wider and shorter.

My wife has been using it for a while and although she was originally skeptical, as she wanted a huge gel seat, she finds it great now. She does wear padded tights though.

My gf got a Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow as the original one had similar effects! She says the Selle is awesome.

+1 for the ladle - my girlfriend's fussy bum tried a selle italia & a wtb one first...

Mine sits on a WTB laser comp. £50 down to £25 on CRC at the moment too.

It all rather depends on the shape of her bum though. Pics for comparison? 😉

Go to a spesh dealer, sit her on their lump of memory foam, get the saddle that fits her. Takes a lot of the guesswork out of saddle buying.

I've got a spesh bg saddle, and a wtb rocket. Both are quite nice 🙂

The fizik ladies specific ones seem good too 🙂
