My LBS has had this HUGE padded saddle sitting in the shop for at least a year - the thing has to be like a foot wide and has more padding than my couch. I thought it would finally go a week ago when some HUGE gal came in looking for a new saddle - but she bought one of them little ass hatchets like the old Selle Viper!
