[RBW] Re: PSA - Brooks B68s FS on eBay

I slightly prefer the B68 to the B17 for more upright rides as well. Not sure I've ever bought into the sit bones measurement as a reliable reference for saddle comfort. I look for the widest saddle toward the rear and the narrowest at the front, with minimal adductor interference. I think

SKS fenders may be easy-er than nothing to install for someone like a bike shop looking for a path of least resistance, but sheesh they look awful. I have some Bluemel P50's on my Bombadil. Frankly, any fender can be a challenge to install so I'd rather have some metal ones that look
