Subject: Corbin saddle and others


Hi AT-Drivers,

I just read Phils question related to the corbin saddle and I thought,
this is a good opinion, to ask you too about my problem with saddles.

After my original saddle was very bad, I tried the "Stufensitzbankkit"
from Götz / Germany. It's better than the original one, but in the front
part to wide and to hard for my back. I heard from the corbin saddle,
which should be very comfortable but also very expensive. The other
saddle-solution I know is the padding and cover of "African Queens", but
I don't know the price, nor the quality. I think, somebody talked about
360 DM for padding and cover.
My questions are:
What's the better solution: the corbin saddle or new padding and cover
made by "African Queens" or are there other good solutions, for example
speziacilized upholsterers ... ?
What are the prices for corbin saddle / African Queens saddle / other
solution ?
Is it possible, to make the Götz-"Stufensitzbankkit" more convenient ?

My objective is to get a good and convenient saddle, which lasts for
some years, because I have no desire to test all possible solutions.

Please can you help me.

Best wishes and much fun

saddle)
