Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard about Nashbar (I'm new to this), and they have some great deals.
I expect I will go through a bunch of saddles before I find the right one. For a while, most of my rides will be 20 miles or less. Nashbar had a returned saddle (this model) for $26. I ordered it. If it is comfortable for these short rides, great. If not, I can get at least what I paid for it on Craig's List.
I was at my LBS last week, and there was a rider there waiting for a new tire to be installed and a wheel to be trued. He weighed (by his admission) 430 lbs. The saddle on his comfort bike was a very narrow, drop nose road saddle. He said he had tried over a dozen different saddles before finding the one that worked for him, and he was stunned it was that skinny, hard one that did the trick. As he rode off, I realized that if I hadn't met him, but had just seen him riding,I never would have seen the saddle. It was completely hidden. I left the shop with a better understanding that the right saddle is the one that works for you.
