And yes, I have read the best and worst saddle threads over in the gear section. Ahem.
I've been riding on one of the original Terry saddles, and I have always found it quite comfy. (My bike was in storage for most of last fifteen years, so the saddle is only now starting to break down.) When I rented a bike in July for the metric century, the bike had what I think was a well-used Terry Butterfly (it had a little butterfly logo on the back). I found it to be comfortable for the three 50-60 mile rides I did on that bike.
I need to buy a new saddle soon, and I will not be able to try it out and return it, given where I live (Chile). The cost of shipping would probably be more than a new saddle. Is it fairly safe to assume that a new Terry Butterfly would work? Have they changed significantly in the last couple of years? The thought of getting on the miserable-saddle roller coaster is not a pleasant one....
