More saddle news (brief), and seat post update

July 23, 2008

We'll keep you posted on saddles in general, and we'll be trying out whatever ones we get. We've now heard of yet another new leather saddle, Cardiff ( brand ) but made far, far from Cardiff. We received a sample of it today, will get others soon.
The first one we got, I just put on my bike. It's modeled after a Brooks Swallow. It doesn't have the width I usually like, but the shape is excellent, and I'll just see how it goes.
With any saddle "testing," the comfort-related results don't mean too much. I can't ride a Brooks Pro, but many riders love them, and so on.

We are expecting the lugged seat posts in about a month.

Best,

Grant
