Kim,
I listed here for sale a black Selle Anatomica H-2 in mint condition.
I'm in no hurry to sell it. If you want to PM me, I'd be happy to send it to
you as a loaner to try as a baseline. Maybe trying it for a spell would help
you refine your saddle search.

Kim, I tried the Selle and within a few rides the saddle was loosing all shape
and I would have needed to tighten it. I thought that was a bit too quick so
it went back. It was not the H but the model just before it in their lineup,
but I am only about 145 pounds.

I have a Brooks B67S saddle that I have had for sometime between two other
bikes. It is fairly broken in. I like the short nose on it.
I own a 2021 59cm Clem Smith Jr. "L". It has become futile finding a seat
post with sufficient setback, that measures 29.8mm. I have been riding on
rivets.
I have moved forward recently in getting the right shim to accept a 27.2mm seat
post. Good news is the used PAUL Tall and Handsome post is coming in the mail
tomorrow. With great hope, my problems will be solved with sufficient setback.
I am considering on the back burner as future purchase of a Selle Anatomica H-1
saddle for more of a comfortable ride.
Has anyone used one of the Selle Anatomica saddles for upright riding ? If so,
what is your experience ?

I just went through all of the Brooks iterations over the last 3 months for my
Platypus. I found B67 was the right seat for my posture and rear. Flyer not
flat enough, flyer carved pinches areas that shouldn't be pinched, B17 also not
flat enough and my old Professional definitely not comfortable for upright
riding. YMMV but I find the flat rear section perfect for upright riding and
get no impingement on the hamstrings on the downstroke. The springs provide
just enough give rocking back and forth at my weight (175#) but do not dampen
much vibration. Hope that helps.

Sort of like the Sheldon Brown technique for breaking in a B 17 years ago by
soaking it in oil. I only did that once...

After a lot of testing I've come around to loving my Berthold Mente!! I have
two.
I dunked it in water and covered it with saddle grease to break it in fast,
however.

I personally find springs superfluous, maybe because I'm light and they don't
seem to do much except add weight and squeak. For the BEST upright saddle I'm
always on the lookout for increasingly rare B-68s. The Holy Grail of upright
saddles (to me) would be finding a B-68 Imperial.

What I really want is a sprung Brooks, but I'm not heavy enough to actuate the
springs. Can't afford a Berthoud.
The only other option I know of is the Rivet Loveland, which I've heard is
excellent quality.
Anything else to consider?
