[RC] ORTHO-FLEX SADDLES - rides2farMy OF traditional with the boar hide and original booties is worth almost twice what I paid for it...but I'm not selling, My Express was #003, made with the double thickness flaps (they're single thickness on later models) and the 2" wide billet which I *loved* but they were never able to get stainless steel buckles for it so discontinued that style. They originally sold for $999. I got mine new from a guy who lived by the factory and traded them a buggy he built for it. Gave him $500. It *might* be worth somewhere in that neighborhood now but it looks like the wrath of God. I've ridden holes into the flaps, and the seat has impressions where my seat bones hit. The stitching on the back of the seat is completely rubbed away from my fanny pack but it hasn't come apart...just sort of all became one piece of leather. They really hold their value well. I bought my daughter a 10 year old saddle just like mine and was thrilled to get it for $700 or $800 (I can't remember which). Could probably get the same for it now after 4 years. My neice bought the Amigo at the introductory price and it's probably worth more now than she gave for it since they went way up after that. If anybody out there wishes they had a full sheepskin cover for an Express post me privately. I got a good deal on a Jan's sheepskin full flap cover but don't care for the side padding. It's like new. Might take a basic seat cover in partial trade. Angie ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.
