Regular plastic saddle. She seamed honest and desperate "it's a newly assembled bike, freshly painted, and the saddle now can't be raised!" Since it was a May - crazy month in the bike shop, the manager didn't let us spend too much time on the saddle, so it had remained stuck, the customer was sent their way - not a good thing IMO. But it was impossible to move with ordinary "tricks" and using an old saddle as a leverage!
