It's a nice saddle, but it's not a 100% fit. As others have said it's too far forward and i guessed it to be a bit narrow.

I just LOVE Schleese saddles! They are SOO comfortable to ride it (I have yet to ride in something more comfortable - and the Schleese I rode in was way too big for me). They are great people to work with too.

I personally wouldn't have a Schleese saddle fitted by another fitter who has never done a Schleese before - they are different. But if you can find someone who has experience with them then go for it. Perhaps you can contact Schleese and see what they recomment?? They may say to send the saddle to them, who knows!

Best of luck with it though - they are GREAT saddles!

Buck - I never got a msg from ya about that saddle??? Not that I'm in any position to buy a new saddle though.
