Know anything about Regent saddles?

Question

I got one for my bday but I've never used it and am thinking of selling it, but I've never heard anything about the brand, can't find any information, so I don't know how much its worth. To the best of my knowledge it's a pretty cheap saddle. But doesn't anyone know?

Answer 1

regent's are made by the same company that makes collegiates (spelling!?1). regent is the "economy" line so to speak. yes, they're generally pretty cheap and made with lower quality materials. they're not horribly made saddles, but certainly not the best. they're usually stiff and hard, and take a lot of time to break in. they don't hold value very well. a 500 dollar saddle (new) might sell for 200 in very gently used condition. overall though they're not the worst thing on the market and make decent lesson saddles or a good starter package for someone that's not sure if they plan to stick with the sport, or might change displines and don't want to invest a lot of money right away.

Answer 2

It looks like India's version of a close contact saddle.  Here's a link to one I found on ebay that you can watch and see what it sells for.
