Correct, I mentioned I left a saddle off because of the wide range in costs and because a saddle on a stock LHT will also typically be swapped out. I was trying to keep the comparison accurate. I have $30 saddles and a $170 saddle(valued new, i bought it used). The range is just so wide for what is 'good' with a saddle since everyone is different that its futile to price in a general build. You could add $10 to my estimate though because thats how much Cannondale Quick saddles cost at a local bike shop which are brand new takeoffs from purchased bikes where the customer swapped in a better saddle. Those $10 are the equivalent of what comes on a stock LHT.
