Thanks for all the info. Yes, I have an upright riding position. At the moment, I am just looking to try the saddle and compare it to my cruiser saddle, so I don't know if buying a leather conditioner is necessary for that. But on the other hand, this is not a new saddle. It's maybe 25 years old, going by the bike, and it wasn't my bike. So that means the saddle was made to conform to someone else. Can it reshape itself to me, or does that ruin it?
