I definitely have not. In fact, I’ve not experienced any of the reported problems with the B67. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 30, 2022, at 1:02 AM, schralp wrote: > > Thanks. Do you notice the B67 impacting hamstrings given the width? > >> On Monday, August 29, 2022 at 10:05:19 AM UTC-7

Thanks. Do you notice the B67 impacting hamstrings given the width? On Monday, August 29, 2022 at 10:05:19 AM UTC-7 Lucky wrote: > I have both seats. I prefer the B67 for bolt upright where I’m more back > on my butt, and the Flyer goes on my mountain bikes/more lean-over bikes. > Flyer is

I cannot comment on the flyer. However, for my very upright position my B67 is really perfect. Since getting it I no longer need or use padded shorts. I have cycled probably 1,500 miles with it in total comfort. I’ve gone 4 hours practically non stop & did a 6 day bikecamping adventure on it.

Just joined after purchasing my first Country bike; a beaut of a lime olive platypus. Goal is to get more upright and it was outfitted with albatross bars which are about perfect. However, I put my Brooks professional from the 70s on and it doesn’t quite match the more upright position. I’m
