are very nice people.The Steele can be acquired free as a road test model 
with a very hefty deposit to cover Steele's risk. The Steele is a top 
quality item,a modern day derivative of the plantation saddle genre,altho 
it is not much like a Buena Vista.Not a high tech saddle in any way,which 
may be a good thing.They will work closely with you,and make things your 
way,but in many ways,the Steele is "neither here nor there",in my 
opinion.It is a very conventional saddle,and I think the advantage it 
poses would be the fact that they will work with you to get it the way 
you need it.They have a web site,search "Steele Saddle"
