New Charge line-up

I'll do you a Juicer for half that price.

Juicer;

I've gone for the simple slotted disc caliper mounts for my SS offroad build but then as its a belt drive I'm hoping not to have to adjust tension as the belt should'nt stretch (special chain tugs should insure that the wheel sits in the same spot after removal).

I had a Santa Cruz Chameleon a few years back that was just slotted and ran discs with no problems. Once set it was fine and removing/replacing rear wheels was no more hassle than a v brake setup.
Just made me think how much I miss that bike now! Pace RC31s, Hope hubs etc, weighing in around 9kgs made a very fast XC bike.
Still, have now discovered single speed cyclo cross bikes which are the fastest cross country machines I have owned (living in the technically unchallenging New Forest)

Looks good. Possibility for the future. Happy with my Felt at the moment which I've swapped out to flat bars as I prefer them off road and makes jumping over things, manualling etc,. much more fun as well as, for me, giving better control (which I need when sliding around on 32c's!).
They also lighten things up and being a bit of a weight weenie I am more than happy with an 8kg off road bike (helped along with a few other non standard parts)

I recently built up a cycloX frame for commuting, and went with midge bars. Took it out on a few trails, before kitting it out for commuting/load carrying. Bloody good fun riding cycloX on mountain trails. Bloody scarry too though :)

Sure is. I now have the perfect bike for where I live - even more perfect than my previous 10 perfect bikes :-)
It is also pretty good on the road, although with a 60" gearing I am limited to a cruising speed of around 18mph but can't go any higher as 60" is on the high side off road. Still doesn't stop me doing 30+ mile road rides when I want to give my wrists a break from rigid narrow tyred off roading!

We have the brown one and the white one.

Orange? Ohhh my days! Ew.

Are charge seats are comfortable or not?

Depends on your arse, innit.

Wellllllllll....
I have a big arse.

the size of your arse doesn't usually matter, you just need to find which saddle shape fit you better.

remember - wider saddle aren't necessary more comfortable sometime.

Mine;s a challenge pro, uncomfortable as fuck.

It's more to do with your sit bones less to do with their fleshy surrounds. Trial and error is how I did it but there's generally a group of recommended saddles that work well for certain riding that would be a starting point. See the 10,000 saddle threads on here.

I have seen the threads, I was asking about the charge one! But yes will try out various ones
