I wonder if it will hold up. I have seen saddles sag after time. Does the Flite have any support under the saddle, or is it just leather suspended between rail and nose?
well, the Flite (not this saddle) is plastic, foam, and vinyl covering..
This is a Brooks, and it has no support underneath other than the metal frame that the leather is attached to... if they do sag (which they will over time) there is a nut in the nose that you tighten a bit to stretch out the leather
yeah.. I debated cutting down the saddle for a couple months... I've only had it for 4 months I think... but it has broken in nicely, and doesn;t feel any differently after cutting it down
