View Full Version : Stores in Seattle that demo saddles?
Hello,
I'm new to Seattle and am in need of a new saddle. Up to this point I've managed to collect a handful of really uncomfortable ones... does anybody know of a bike shop in Seattle that allows you to demo saddles?
Thanks!!!

REI is very good about this.

I go to the guys @ Girk's Alpine Hut in Redmond. They are very friendly and helped me with my bicycle purchase. I would go to them for all my biking needs!:)

you might sell those saddles right here. what's uncomfortable for you might be really comfy for someone else.

If you can't find a shop that does... BUG them about it!
Selle Italia, WTB, and Terry all have test saddle programs that the shops can get through QBP a major bike shop distributor. The test programs are not that expensive for the shops to bring in, and they are fabulous.
I currently have WTB and Selle Italia programs in my store. The terry system has been out of stock, so I'm thinking of calling them direct.
But in the program we allow the client to "check out" a saddle for 48 hours. I just have them leave a CC # on file with us and away they go.
The response I've had to the program has been phenomenal! I'm hoping that Fizik follows suit and comes up with a program as well.
Anyway, call around to the shops and ask if they have the any of the test programs. If they say no, then I would gently sugggest they consult their QBP catalog and consider bringing them in....;)
Good luck!
