Hi John. I'm just very curious how the saddle stands up to rain. You
mentioned you had been putting in mostly rainy miles. Did you use a
saddle cover? How'd the saddle behave?

I have never understood why Riv doesnt sell the Brooks B135. I have
tried alot of saddles and its the most comfortable of any. No, for
those who are worried about adding an extra 8 ounces, I can't save
you, but I wish more folks would give it a try. I even wish Berthoud
would make one, very nice

I second that comment. When I first got my Brooks, I slid around
quite a bit
Thanks for the review and for charring pictures of such beautiful
piece of art!
The cork version certainly look the business but I'm also not to fond
of the plastic rear. I'll will wait for the the narrow race version
that will be available soon, problem is there doesn't seem to be any

Ditto on the suggestion for B17 owners to spend time playing with the
tilt if you're having sliding trouble. The right tilt appears to be
very much a function of how upright your position is. More upright,
more nose up. I don't have a particularly upright position - handlebar
tops a bit below
Sorry Ryan, I only know what you can read in those links. My guess is
it's very close to the Brooks Swift/Swallow witch are great for a more
forward leaning position:

Like John mentioned in he's review there will also be matching leather
The pictures of of John's Toei with the
Brooks show a pretty extreme nose-down position
That was one of many unsuccessful experiments in positioning that
saddle. I'm just not comfortable in the crotch of the banana :-)
Again, as I emphasized--saddles are a very individual choice. I think

John, your not alone. I've bought four Swift saddles as good as new
from people who for various reasons didn't get on with them. I also
had trouble with setting up the first one and ended up moving it all
the way back and raised the nose slightly. From then on it's has been
very comfy and just
If I may put a plug in for another alternative, it's the Selle
Anatomica either with or without the slot - without the slot, it's
quite cheap, long lasting, and very very comfortable. They're 70.00
new. I have found with the Brooks, once they get rained on and molded
into the wrong shape, it's
According to the Wallingford Bike Parts website, the Berthoud men's
saddle measures 162 x 277. The Berthoud woman's saddle measures 162 x
247. It appears a Bethoud racing saddle is not available, at least
for now.

John,
Thanks for posting the saddle review. But even more thanks to the link
of pics of your fine bike. I really like what you did with the red
tape and amber shellac. The ruby color is quite elegant.
