I'm having a saddle fitter otu cause I don't want to guess with saddle width
she was happy in a stubben wide (32cm) but my trainer sad she might be better in something a little wider just to give more clerance? this saddle looks really nice.

I love Bruno Delgrange , but can't afford the new ones at dover they are insanely expensive.
and I've been looking at beval's , county's, Vega , Albion and some others
I'm trying for used around $1500.

17.5" seat with longer straighter flaps and a mw/w tree

Gosh, I am not familiar with that saddle. That's great you got money for a saddle, saddle shopping is so fun!

Prestige saddles are awesome. My friend owns two of them and I've ridden in both. They are well made, but like any saddle you just don't know if it will work until you try it out.


I'm also looking for a new saddle too. It can be such a headache trying to find one that works, but I know what I want and I don't want to settle for anything less.

Sorry I'm not a fan of Italian made saddles. I prefer ones made in England. You need to get front and back pictures of this saddle as well. If you have a saddle fitter coming, this saddle is a little pricey with all the changes you made need.

I've had quite a few different brands of English saddles, and I have to say County was my very favorite.

Since you'll be fitting, I'd recommend buying from an online consignment shop that does trials.
