Do any shops let you try out saddles?

[HJ]

From reading a US forum I believe it's not uncommon for the better shops there to let you try out a saddle on a proper ride or two. Does anyone know if any UK shops do this?

I could be convinced to spend real money on a saddle (so far I've bought mostly cheap used stuff) if I could be confident it would work for me. So far my saddle experiments have left me chafed and/or numb in various interesting and painful combinations.

I know the Bicycle Works let you try saddles out, but I am not sure if they do the Selle Italia Flite, though, worth asking...

I didn't realise they did a toupe 155 wide. Are you looking to sell it, or just loaning it out, either way I could be interested

selling it, but if you're not sure whether you'll like it, i'm willing to send it you to try it and you can send it me back if you don't but pay me for it if you do.
nothing too long term though. say a week's trial?
pm me if you are interested.

On the Selle Italia front again, all of their 'gel' (expensive) saddles have a 30 day money back guarantee. They have a little sticker on the front of the box for the ones that apply.

Cheers for that HJ!

Worth knowing, cheers.
