Selling test saddles?

2nd hand saddles are like 2nd hand bib shorts and 2nd hand condoms...

Not necessarily. If it's been used for a week or a month, it's still good in my eyes. If a condom or bib has been used for a month, different story...

You shouldn't be sitting on a DH bikes' saddle anyways...

I always used them old school suede saddles and thought they were very comfy way back. On my reintroduction to cycling a few years ago, I did not like the solid saddles and changed to a gel saddle with the glory hole for men. It was a firmish yet soft saddle and I thought it was great for a while. 

I now have an SDG on the one bike, a solid saddle and I love it.

On the other I have a BrandX saddle with the glory hole and it is even more comfy than the the SDG.

You mean this kind of test saddle ?

Not one that someone bought to test (i.e. they 'buyed before they tried')

Take it then that you do not use public toilets?

 

Not aversed to public toilets at all and any tree is a lavatory.

But bib shorts and saddles are a personal relationship IMO.

I know at a point, Specialized sold a whole bunch of their test saddles as they were not able to get the usual retail models in stock on time, so they released the test saddles for sale...

 

I bought one a number of years ago and still have it....nothing "illegal" if I were to sell it as I paid for it...

 

If you borrow a test saddle to test and never return it then different story, perhaps not 100% illegal (stand to be corrected), but not exactly morally correct...

Still looking for A 143( or whatever the smallest size is)  power saddle if anyone has one  :whistling:

 

Specialized Melrose Arch had plenty about 3 weeks ago .

I bought the red one .... best money I have spent on ANYTHING ....

Bib shorts I agree with, saddle - no issue!
