Saddles with money back guarantee?

[Nick Burns]

I am looking for a new saddle and it is difficult when you can't try one. Are there any
manufacturers or resellers that offer a satisfaction guarantee? I can't ever decide until I do at
least one (preferably more) long rides. I am tired of buying saddles that I end up giving away to
poor cyclist friends.

If you have a good relationship with the local LBS they will usually let you try out a saddle for a
few rides then return it if it's still in perfect shape.

I loved my Koobi PRS saddle when I got it back in January. But now it's falling apart -- after only
six months. I ride alot, but this is pretty poor.

If you live near a Performance Bike Shop like I do, they will let you do this. It took several trips
back and forth until we found one my wife was comfortable on.

Terry (www.terrybicycles.com) used to offer this in their print catalogs; I didn't see it in a quick
glance at their web page.

The LBS route is worth trying.
