Close Contact Saddles

Manufacturer: Marcel Toulouse
Model: Claudine
Category: Close Contact Saddles

Purchase: I bought this saddle for 800 off of ebay slightly used (It had 5-10 rides in it)

Likes: I love the quality/softness of the leather. The saddle is well built with removable calf blocks and well built in thigh blocks.

Dislikes: I do not like the quality of the billets where the girth attaches to the saddle. They are very thick and waxy and do not seem to hold up well because after 20 rides, they were showing a lot of wear on them.

Quality: The leather is amazingly soft and supple immediately. However, toulouse does not seem to stand by there saddles due to the only 10 year warranty on their trees.

Summary: Overall, I am impressed by the quality of the saddle especially the leather for this price. I sadly am having to sell it though because I have really long legs and it does not fit me well.
