Hi Gang, I was thinking of picking up a Crosby Prix De Nations close contact saddle that I found in excellent condition and for a good price. I had one wayyyy back when.
Can anyone tell me who makes them now and any experiences with them. It looks pretty but that doesn’t really mean a darn thing. Is there a serial number or stamped code that can help define the tree size and flap length? I believe the tree sizes used to be stamped on the stirrup bar but not sure if it still is.
Thanks[/QUOTE]
Is the saddle you are looking at possibly not a Crosby? I can’t tell if you are trying to find out if this “look a like” is actually the same as a Crosby, or if you already know it is, but are lookign at newer options as well??
As others mentioned, lots of Crosby PDN love from me too! I learned to Ride in a PDN and I think that is why I developed such a strong base. Properly balanced saddle, but not all the fluff that keeps you put, just your position!
Plus, those suckers lasted FOREVER!!!
