Where do they list the saddle dimensions? I can't find it.
Looks like they took some design cues from Berthoud with the cantle.
I tried a Rivet Independence with the cutout. Nice saddle and nice lady (I dealt with her personally) but turns out the cutout isn't for me.
I've yet to try a Berthoud and was about to go for the titanium railed Aravis, on my next build but I've never been more comfortable than I am on a Brooks Pro. So when one came up on the PL classifieds I decided to stick with what works. If I wear it out I'll try the Berthoud or possibly this new SA (if dimensions are right for me).
Initially this company's MO was producing suspended leather saddles that were "broken in" out of the box. What you got was less than sturdy leather and I've seen many photos of them in full hammock mode as KidWok allueds to. Rivet improved this by using thicker leather, Berthoud style molded cantle as well as a synthetic material bonded to the underside of the leather to decrease stretching and add a water barrier.
