Saddle rec for a tween-ish boy?

I have a Jett 130 with Ti rail. Ohh just checked. It has bit of pink trim on it. It does have a cut out. Would he try it out and see if the cutout would work for him?

If the cutout works for him then you can go out and find him a seat with a cutout and feel bit more confident that the new seat will work for him. I could send it to you for free and he could try it out. Then you can send it back or we can talk about it. I highly doubt any self respecting boy would use any gear with pink.

Let me ask him...in the past he's never had aversions to pink, but he's starting to hit that age where peep pressure is making a bigger difference than it used to. But he could at least try it to noodle-around the neighborhood.

The other thing we realized is that the nearest Trek/Bontrager dealer is really good about doing demos, so it's possible that he could demo a Bontrager Inform model, that way. That's how I ended up with my Affinity saddle.

a sharpie marker can take care of pink on a saddle.

My son did well with a Terry Sport.

I'll dig it out of my closet and get back to you with measurements.

Another thought is to go to your LBS and see if they have any take off saddles in the back that they sell cheap.

A lot of shops do(when people swap out for the stock saddle or upgrade or return something,etc). That way DS could actually give a few a try. I know one of ours sell the take offs for anywhere from $5-20.
