Dickie,
Your post reminded me of something. Most Fizik dealers have bright green “loaner” saddles available to try out. I tried all three of their road saddles courtesy of BicycleSpace over the course of a month. It was great to put some real miles under their saddles before investing in their product.

Tri360 in Falls Church has Adamo, Prologo and one other brand that I don’t remember in their saddle loaner fleet. They’ve got the best selection of “try it before you buy it” saddles around.
Freshbikes has been VERY good at helping people get the right saddle. A good friend got a saddle that should have worked well from them, but it didn’t. Freshbikes was awesome about getting him the correct saddle with no hassle at all.
When you’re spending $90-250 on a saddle, it is good to try it out first, if you can. Failing that, ask the shop what happens if you try it and HATE it?
Is this what you guys would recommend if I’m looking to find The Perfect Saddle for Me(TM)?
I bought a Scott Contessa Speedster s25 a couple of weeks ago — my first real road bike. I am excited to put a lot of miles on it this summer, but it has already become QUITE clear that I’m going to need a new saddle. I have no idea how to go about figuring out what I should buy. Try before you buy sounds perfect! Should I take myself over to these two places, BicycleSpace and Tri360?
Signed,
I’m New At This
