Just can't seem to find the perfect one...?

Question

I am in desperate need of a new saddle, and I've looked every where, and can't find the perfect one! I'm looking for a 16.5inch HDR, Pessoa, Crosby... etc. I need a used one though, cause I can't afford a new one, but it needs to have a longer flap for equiataion, and because I'm kind of tall, 5'6". Also it needs to be brown, no black. Thanks so much guys!!!

Answer 1

Try your local saddle fitter, they should have lots!

Answer 2

Where have you looked?  We have bought a bunch from Rick's Heritage ( http://www.saddlesource.com/cc.asp ) and have been happy with them.

Edit:  I know when this question pops up a lot of people suggest eBay but I would be cautious taking that route.  An unscrupulous seller will not tell you if the saddle has a broken tree or some other major hard to fix flaw.  If you are buying from a store that sells on eBay it's one thing but be wary when you buy from an individual.

Answer 3

try http://www.craigslist.com , http://www.ebay.com , and http://www.tacktrader.com . make a post on craigslist, describing what you are in search of. make flyers and post them at shows and at feed stores.
