==========================================

I bought a used orthoflex on ebay.  I've wanted to try one out forever and 
finally took the plunge.  It is set up like nothing I have ever seen before!  I 
buy and sell saddles a lot so that is saying something!  I think the saddle is 
an older slick fork, there is a seam down the middle of the seat.  The girth is 
shaped like an X, I've heard of those, but does anyone have an opionion on 
them?  The front rigging ring is attached to the saddle by a strip of Biothane 
screwed to the tree clear up at the front.  About  the same spot as the front 
concho.  The leathers are also Biothane with Western Fenders hooked to the 
outside.  What I'm asking is "is this a normal setup? or did the previous owner 
do some modifying?"  It has the orthoflex stamp and Browns saddleworks on it 
and a bronze plate on the back with a number.  The biothane rigging looks 
pretty cheesy.  I just got it yesterday and I'm going to put it on and try it 
out this weekend.  I was just hoping for some input.
Thanks,
Mary
