I was complaining about my new carbon saddle after a Saturday morning club ride. I selected this saddle thinking that more expensive would mean a better product. A rider I met that day listened to my story, then promised he would bring one of his Selle An-Atomica saddles for me to test ride when I saw him the following week. He did, along with the installation instructions, and told me I could try it for as long as I needed. After months of riding on this wonderful perch, I ordered my own and returned his, along with a nice bottle of red wine. What amazed me most was that this man I had just met trusted me with one of his saddles. Truth is, he believes so much in the product that he knows anyone who tries one, will buy one. (or more) He made a believer out of me!
