J stead saddles are excellent! I searched and compared saddle makers for a very long time before being turned onto j stead by a friend of mine who also rides his saddles. I purchased mine a bit over a year ago and could not be happier. The quality is great! They ride great! You can customize the build any way you like! This saddle should be priced higher than it is don't be turned off by a fair price. I'm about to purchase my 2nd saddle from j stead and any saddle there after. It's one of the best saddles out there.
