I'm trying to find a saddle that my girlfriend finds comfortable but don't really know where to start! Has anyone got anything cheap going spare? Will consider anything, my theory being that if we try a couple of different styles out it'll give us a better idea of what does and doesn't suit her.
I'm based in SE20, happy to collect if you're not too far or pay for postage.

Fabric I do know are very comfortable and there offer a 30 day return if not happy. All 3 off my bike have fabric saddle.

Definitely try one with a cut-out. A lot of women I know have had good luck with the Selle Italia diva flow (lol at the name). You might find one cheap on eBay/etc.

There's also the London Bike Kitchen saddle library, but not sure if that's open right now.

I have one you can have for nothing, just postage - will dig it out this evening.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
