I will shortly (in the next couple of weeks or so) be in the very lucky position of being able to get my first ever brand new saddle (in 15 years I have only ever had second hand ones) Having done a bit of research I have got a shortlist of four but am at a total loss as to how I can get to try them all to see which is the most suitable / best fit for both of us etc.
Unlike second hand saddles I know there is a certain amount of adjustment that can be made to a new one (width, length of flaps etc) but I really don't know where to start or who to ask (I don't want to just go to the dealer of brand X and then the dealer of brand Y etc as they will each tell me that theirs are going to be the best fit etc and they have a vested interest in selling me only one of theirs)
Ideally I'd like one person to bring the short listed selection round (plus maybe a couple of others if my thoughts really don't fit for whatever reason) and go from there. Does anyone know of anyone in the Kent area who might be able to do this?
Early season strawberries and cream for making it through my inarticulate ramblings
Thanks
