I'd assume they WANT you to post about it here and on your blog and whatnot--it's cheap (the cost of 150 saddles) publicity, right? Anyway, it sounds fun, regardless. Good luck with the testing! Maybe I'll get selected in the last 50 people, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I think it's not beta testing, but marketing. They want people to want one. They want everyone to know someone who has one.
