Re: [RBW] FIRST RIDE ON MY B-17 standard

I've been riding them for 15 years, always with saddle nose a little bit high. I had some "comfort trouble" this summer, to the point that I even considered giving up the B17 on upright bar bikes. But I decided to try nose up even higher. I've been very pleased, and I now like the B17 more than ever, even on a Bosco bar bike.

Subject: [RBW] FIRST RIDE ON MY B-17 standard

I did a lot of reading about setting up a Brooks Saddle.A majority of
people said tip the nose of the saddle up. I did just a bit. Went for a 30
mile ride.
The saddles positioned as far back as possible. I was expecting pain and
discomfort. Didn't happen.I did experience sliding forward into the
"hammock".
Started to feel some discomfort at the end of the ride. but bearable.
I got home and tipped up the nose a bit more.Took it for a short spin..No
slinding forward. Felt very comfortable
I'm very pleased. And what a piece of art and craftsmanship! I got the
Honey color.Just beautiful!.
