LBS with Saddle Demo Program in Seattle
 
Anyone know of one with a good selection?

Any retailers who carry Specialized, Fizik, and Selle Italia should have some gaudy fluorescent tester saddles to loan out.

Speedy Reedy on the Burke in Fremont lent me a bunch of saddles until I settled on the comfiest one.

The guys at Woodinville Cycle let me try a couple saddles out last year before I picked one.

Thanks for the input. Always have liked Montlake.

Fizik Aliante. After trying a bunch of saddles, this one seemed the most comfortable to me over long rides.

I think most of the shops in Seattle probably demo seats. Demo wheels and now I see they added Demo bikes at Gregg's cycles for race day.

Just make sure you know the terms of the loaner program. It can vary from shop to shop.

We have a number of road demo saddles in Mercer Island. Fizik, San Marco, and Selle Italia.

....Gregg's will let you test any saddle in the store for 30 days, and they've got a lot of 'em to choose from...

Cool, thanks for all the info. Will have to figure which is the easiest to get to from West Seattle.

Looking forward to getting back outside after a winter of recovery from surgery.
