Embarassing Saddle Issues...

[zoom-zoom]

I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but things can be created for one reason, and continue to be used, or further developed for other reasons.

Like...men, for instance.

LOL! That's utterly hilarious.

The Selle SMP saddles sound like a good thing to check out, need to go find out who carries that over here. Unfortunately no LBS here carries Terry products and the Terry website doesn't say anything about international shipping, so I'll exhaust all local options first...

Allow me to scream in frustration. Called up the Specialized distributor in town. They said they could use the measuring thing to find me a BG Jett saddle. Asked if I could try sitting on the saddle to see if its comfortable. Their answer?

"Yes, you can try it but you must buy the saddle after that."

URGRGHH!!!!

I have a dad, younger brother, husband and a 9 year old son. I speak from a multitude of experience.

Alexis, that is nuts. If you order from Specialized you can return the saddle within a certain period of time. Why would the distributor have a different policy than the company?

[alexis_the_tiny]

Because that's how it flies here and the distributor knows that unless we want to actually import the saddle from the US, we have no other choice. I went to ask at a few other bike shops and no one has test saddles to try and aren't willing to allow me to test a saddle before buying. I'm just going to order off chain reaction cycles, at least I don't have to pay as much as I would locally and their return policy is a little more flexible.

Quick update: After much wrangling, I got hold of a Specialized Alias 130mm on the secondhand marketplace. First sit, it feels good, hard, narrow enough and supportive and the cut out is AWESOME, no pressure! Hopefully it'll stand up to the long ride...
