Can anyone tell me when Bates stopped manufacturing 'fixed' tree saddles? I have a GP saddle which is flocked and does not have a changeable gullet which I'm trying to age as I've decided to sell it. It looks like new so has clearly not had much use - any ideas???
 
I have heard it's quite difficult to get hold of anyone at Bates - not sure that they have an office in the UK? Will try Wintec thank you. Saddle looks 'modern' and is lightweight - it has been suggested to me that the adjustable gullets have been going for around 12 years, my saddle doesn't look that old!!!

I bought one of the early exchangeable gullet saddles about 10 or so years ago so 12 years would be about right.. But tbh i am not sure if bates still did the non-exchangeable gullet saddle at the time. I bought mine from TDS saddlery who have a website. They might be able to help.You CAN phone them!;):)Unlike bates...;):)
