Charge Saddle BuilderWin a custom Charge saddle worth £69.99!
If you think your steed could do with a flash matching saddle – and don't we all – then it's worth taking a look at the Charge custom saddle builder. You can get one of Charge's highly regarded Spoon saddles with every part customised to your colour choice. And we've got three to give away to three lucky road.cc readers!
All you have to do is head over to the custom saddle builder and get your perch looking just so, then snap a screen grab of it and post it in a comment below. We'll pick the three we like the best, and those designs will be made up with Cromoly rails and sent out to our lucky winners. What could be easier? You can spec Ti rails if you think it makes your Spoon look better. You won't get 'em, though.
You've got until next Friday, 15 March (at about tiffin time) to submit your design. We'll use a combination of bias and guesswork to pick our top three; it's all a bit subjective really, but we'll try and justify our artistic choices, possibly using such terms as 'bombast' and 'weltanschauung'. Good luck!
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

You can see the effect of a 'way too late' opening of this comp, with my dismal results! Wrecked a good start to my season.

It was off my list of helmets worth buying as soon as I saw someone had named it "Game Changer".

Looks valid to me although on a black Mercedes C Class. Last V5 issued 25th April (2 days ago) so maybe plate was being transferred.

The perfect saddle for the ride I am doing in May, following the whole route of the Giro d'Italia and raising funds for some great charities as I go!

Being a recent convert to the spoon by choosing a tan one for my silver hybrid I'd love one of these to replace my current road saddle.

Classy, traditional tan leather mixed with a nod to the modern day awesome Team Sky in the blue stitching & base.
What more could you want for?
Sometimes you just need it to faintly match the bike.

No idea how to get the piccy here, but it'll have to be black, black, black and black becuase they don't do purple.

Sooo many choices

This would look sweet on my Kona Honky Tonk, mainly red with blue and silver

I'm also building up a burnt copper Genesis Equilibrium, with black finishing kit. This saddle may or may not provide the perfect finishing touch...

IMHO, a winner

Matches my bike's white frame and orange rims to a tee.

For my winter bike: an Orange/Black Orbea Aqua....i've been needing a black saddle as the white one gets too grubby!

Perfect match for my MTB - saddle is dammed uncomfortable on that so a new one would make this new XC racer very happy indeed
It's a Boardman HT Comp fyi

Slightly hi-viz yet black is the best colour for a saddle - period...
