Got one of those to replace the horrible bontrager men's saddle on my mountain bike, it's fab!!! Pretty lightweight, very comfy, firm but not rock-hard and an absolute steal at £20! Comes in pink and black, plain black and honey brown. Not sure if you can get them in the US, but if you can, give it a go!!!!

I just ordered a honey brown one from Wiggle. It was $29.95 + $11.00 shipping. Not bad either.

Hmmm I have been thinking about adding purple accents to my mountain bike and that black swirl saddle looks cool. I need a new saddle, how wide is it?

Wiggle (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Charge_Ladies_Ladle_Saddle/5360032998/) says it's 148mm.

Hmm. That might be narrow enough. Got to think about it.

Mine finally arrived! :D
I was looking for some good saddle without breaking an arm or a leg, and found good reviews about Charge saddles (actually most of them are about Charge Spoon saddle).

Just installed it so couldn't say much, but so far so good.
Normally the saddles for women are softer, but this one is not. Well, it seems to suit me better than my previous saddles that came with the bike -- San Marco Island Ponza, which is too narrow (125 mm).

However, I prefer a little bit longer in the nose (Ladle 245mm long, 148 mm wide). Maybe next time I'd try their Spoon saddle (278 mm long, 138 mm wide).;)
