Bike shop recommendations for trying saddles? Hi, I'm looking for a new saddle as the one that came with my bike is really uncomfortable (found out after going for a long ride). Is there a good bike shop people would recommend that let's you try the saddle for a period of time before buying? Would prefer something east or central London. I know Condor bikes allows it but they have a massive waiting list.

Shout out for [ISM](https://www.ismseat.com/) who make fantastic long-distance saddles. At £80 it's by far the biggest upgrade I've made on my bike and I'm very happy with it. There are a couple of dealers in London who have demo models, eg [Swift Cycles](http://www.swiftcycles.co.uk/) in Spitalfields. Edit: Jesus, and that was evidently the cheap model! But yeah, if you have the money, worth having a try.
I'm looking for a soft saddle for long distance for my girlfriend who is competing in her first ironman this Oct. I think I'm looking for something by Terry at a reasonable price. Can someone help me with this?
