Floating Dee Wide Back Saddle from Weaver

[erikthered]

I'm thinking of making this the first saddle I purchase. I really don't care about weight but I hate bulk. I've climbed spurred with a Punnacle and was not satisfied, to bulky. What are your thoughts onvthis saddle or a good beginers saddle. Trying to keep it under 200. Thanks for the input.

Do you want a floating dee or a 4 dee model? How about buttstrap or legstrap? These are things you have to consider.

You won't get much of a saddle at the price you're wanting.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

One of those will be fine if I am reading you right. The floating D is a nice saddle to start with IMO

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wear that in the bucket, but I prefer the bosun seat of the Versatile for climbing.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I doubt he would be spending near as much time in one as you used to MB

 

[erikthered]

I'm not a big fan of the bosu seat actually. Yeah I realize 200 is a tight budget, maybe when I'm done paying for the morgageon my divorce lawyers building, I can upgrade.:what:

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You buying it through WesSpur?

 

[Tucker943]

Those weaver saddles are good starters. Maybe toss an ad up in the for sale section seeing if there is a sweet deal to he had. Maybe someone has something they hardly used at all and want to get a little of their money back?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't buy cheap gear.

 

[Tucker943]

I agree with Butch. Cozy climbers get things done.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Still wear my Weaver floating Ds from time to time... Not for sale

 

[erikthered]

I don't plan on buying cheap, but I gotta live within my means. Hell why I'm still driving around I'm my '89 yota p/u. What are your guys opinion on 4 Dee versus floating Dee?

 

[MasterBlaster]

4 dee = Fail.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Big no on the 4 D torture device

 

[erikthered]

How you guys really feel.....haha

 

[Tucker943]

I climbed 4 years on 4 d. Worked great. Until I tried something better. I couldn't go back.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Stop dicking around. Here ya go.

Pick one and be done with it.

That's kind of funny you posted that. This past weekend I worked with my buddies dad a real old schooler out of retirement, for the one tree, and he was rocking that very saddle.
