As a bonus, the box will be quite a bit smaller which will save money on shipping.

My wife after 13 years has decided her road bike saddle is no longer comfortable. I've been trying to explain its probably broken down after all this time but she liked it up until a year ago. Still has the same saddles her cross and MTB bikes came with. I still have the factory MTB, and gravel bike saddles. I'd say 3/4 of our bikes have the stock saddle, but every single bike has had the wheels replaced with something prettier, lighter and faster.
