    Until recently, I would have said no way -- But, these days I use my tendonitis-prone elbows as an excuse to avoid all sorts of stuff -- I haven't cleaned my saddle in 2 months, and am riding in a...

    Rick's sent me a check when my saddle sold, not a store credit -- This was about 4 years ago -- I think they had a cutoff above which they would pay you by check rather than in store credit --
