Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Bicycle Works new saddle coming out in September 2023

Does anyone know what’s the price for a B68 if you buy it with a frame/bike at Riv?

I had the same problem for ages until I took a cue from Rich @ Riv (the wheelbuilder) and pointed mine way up. The trick - which is admittedly very hard to tolerate long enough for it to work - is too start with it so high that it feels weird..then don't touch it. Keep riding like 10 miles and and you may find it feels great and you're sitting near the center of the saddle. If not, drop it a very minor amount and do a few more miles that way.  On Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at 4:15:53 PM UTC-7 pbsm...@gmail.com wrote: I always find myself (uncomfortably) sitting far back on Brooks and similar saddles, on the rivits or hard support structure. Or I find myself sliding into the nose. I wonder if the wider and slightly more modern shape of this new RBW saddle would be helpful. Not running bars above saddle height though.  Smitty in DC On Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at 5:03:26 AM UTC-4 Roberta wrote: Thank you, Kim. This is so interesting to me. I find the B-17’s and other saddles of similar width, like the Selle Anatomica, to be a bit too narrow. Currently I’m happy riding B67 on my commuter and in-town bike,  and B68s on my  Rivs,   However, I’d like to have a less fancy saddle on my commuter, as I’m nervous about locking it up.  Roberta  Philadelphia  On Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 9:47:42 PM UTC-4 krhe...@gmail.com wrote: I found this on the sub-Reddit site r/xbiking; https://www.reddit.com/r/xbiking/comments/161zcw8/looks_like_rivs_new_plastic_saddle_is_coming_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=10&utm_content=1&rdt=63131 Looks interesting with possibilities.
