I use the same saddles for faster or slower, any distance riding, across

Completely agree about the addiction... jeesh. I've had the shimano dyno

I have only had the SON. Looks are subjective of course, but I think the
SON is somewhat homely compared to my MaxiCar and Peter Weigle modified
Campy Gran Sport front hubs.
What is not subjective about the SON is how smooth it rides on or off, it
durability, and the quality of the charge.

I've had both and I think the drag on the Shimano is more noticeable.
Slight but it's there.

I suspect tire choice may affect how noticeable a difference in hub drag
is. Small differences in hub drag will be a bigger fraction of total
rolling resistance if you are using light easy rolling tires than if you
are using heavy stiff super stout tires. This may also argue for using the

Hey there -
My tastes are kind of an outlier. I've found that I'm more comfortable on
slightly narrower saddles. Now, I'm sure this has a great deal to do with
years running low handlebars and a current position which is still at or

Unfortunately, I came into a very

A problem with the Brooks B-17 for some is that the saddle will not slide
back far enough. When I hear someone complain that the B-17 bruises their
sit bones I can't help but think that they might need the saddle pushed
back further, and therefore, might be sitting on the on the rear steel

I do not own a Rivet, but I did almost buy one. They are available to
touch, feel, and test ride where I live. A friend of mine has one. They
are a top-notch quality saddle, but an entirely different animal than the
Brooks B-68.

There is a tiny BOM Atlantis on the Rivendell site. It was just 10% off
but I don't know if they would still honor that or not. Either way a small
Atlantis is a rare thing so I thought I would pass the info on. I think

Brooks B17 Special on Sam H., B17 on Univega Gran Rally. I love these
saddles: firm and comfortable. I ride at slowish speeds for moderate
distances, usually 10 to 18 miles, mostly on pavement, often on hills. On
each bike the bars are about half an inch higher than the saddle.

it didn't start that way.
Long ago, when I was racing, I went through the saddle musical chairs and
found Avocet's 40R and the Selle Italia Flite to be the ideal saddles. I
even traded expensive failed experiments for
