Hi there,

all going well, I should be getting a Freeform saddle tomorrow to try for a week or two to see how I get on (getting overexcited:)).

I believe they can take a bit of getting used to and a bit of organising to get "just so". Anyone got any hints and tips for me so that I get the full benefit from this chance to try before I buy?

I am completely new to treeless so dont know what to expect.

thanks xxx

Have you got an agent bringing you the saddle out? They'll help you get set up and answer all your questions. Otherwise, the saddle will come with a Top Tips brochure which should help :)

No, the Scottish agent has given up!! Goldfinch are basically hireing me one for a couple of weeks (paid in full up front and they will charge me £100 hire fee if I dont want one - if I do want one, they'll go ahead and order for me). I dont think they normally do this but its only because the agent has stopped doing them.

They have been very helpful so far though:). I'm just having major panic attacks (too old for all this excitement and new technology:o).

Oh, and have sold my soul on ebay to fund this so dont want to get it wrong:)

lol breathe, relax, you'll be fine. The booklet that comes with the saddle is very helpful and explains it all - any questions feel free to ask Helen at Goldfinch or PM me :)

Thankyou!!! Please live fairly close to your computer over the next few days:o

Worth saying that the agent has given up for personal reasons NOT because she didnt like the saddle - I had a bit of a paddy till she emailed me:D
