And, bonus, you can get rid of feed zones - just make them carry all their supplies in the basket.

Done, Cheers
Id be interested in the pan, dont know how to contact users on here though?
I also have a black Spoon, (sure it's not leather, but vinyl) again relatively new condition, Charge transfer a bit rubbed off on the saddle rails, but no marking etc.
Make me an offer for either/or both if you're interested??

I've a Charge Pan by Bill Amberg Studios.
It's leather, there's a cutout (Charge emblem on underside)
It is in relatively new condition, very little use.
Similar ride feel to the Spoon.

thanks, tried the scoop but not right for me
edit - oh seems like they dont make a leather one anymore, oh well!
Fabric Scoop for a road bike would be my suggestion. The 'basic' ones are very good, and thereafter you pay your money and you take your choice.
Can't say I'd be keen on a denim saddle on a road bike
Ditto. I have a Spoon from several years ago; stopped using it because the stitching was eating my shorts. It's definitely some kind of plastic covering.
Now have lovely smooth leather saddles on both road bikes; a B17 special on the winter, and a Spa Cycles Aire on the summer (the latter is a Chinese copy of a Brooks Swallow)
I've got a Spoon on all 3 of my bikes and I'm 99% sure it's not leather.
