If Brooks ever does create a red B68 or B67, I'm in!
I didn't get to ride much today, but I'm on my way to getting the saddle dialed
in. I just can't remember if I had it scooted more forward than I currently do.
I've been messing with that bike since I got it so I can't be sure how I last

Hi again, Leah,
I've been following the thread with great interest and suspense. :) I was one
of the responders who preferred the looks of the honey b-68 and also thought
you'd prefer it on that bike due to the upright riding position. But I also
thought you needed to try it ASAP and see for

I'm going to return it and send Dad the B67 in antique brown. He has a burnt
orange Specialized Globe Daily 2 that it will be great for! Wallbike still gets
a sale after all...

Now you know... and knowing is priceless!
That being said, there are things I firmly believed I had come to know,
like which saddle I liked and which one I didn't, or handlebar, or pedals,
and all of a sudden, when I try them again, I decide that know I like them
better than the previous best
try tilting the nose up a tad and parking your sit bones on the flat
landing area in back that is created when you tilt up the nose.

Rene,
Well stated. The minor adjustments are the secret. I think the Red saddle
looked good too also thought red grips would have helped. I for one
thought the B-68 saddle was the ticket in the upright position plus women
tend to be anatomically different which that saddle addresses. Too bad
Two buddies who have ridden red Selle Anatomicas have not experienced color
change after several thousand miles. Hopefully your brooks will be the
same. My green brooks is still green two years later, although the copper
plating of the rails is fading.

Just finished a bike project and opted for the black truleather Selle.
Was thinking about the red, but if it wasn't quite the same color as the
red frame, would have looked out of place. On another bike, have the blue
B-17, but you can't tell it's blue - it looks black. Between the two, the

Just note that the red will only last for a year or so of riding. After a
while, the Brooks color saddles fade back to natural brown leather.

But, you can re-dye one as needed.

Really? I didn't think that was part of the deal!!! Are you sure? What color
brown will it be? I love my honey B68, but I don't care for the antique brown.
I would not be happy if my red Brooks ends up looking that way! Is this only
with red or with the other limited edition colors too?

And how does one re-dye? It doesn't sound like anything I'd love to do...

Haven't tried it myself; I happen to prefer the antique brown and have
gone out of the way to get 'em at times; the honey will eventually darken
to something like the antique brown, given enough time in the saddle... (I

Worried, I spoke to Bill from Wallbike. He says that the old Brooks colored
saddles were a black or brown saddle topped with a different color. The
abrasion on the saddle made the true color show through almost immediately.
Brooks has changed the way these saddles are made over the past few
I had a green B17 that lasted fine. I think you'll be ok :-)

Just try it. You know you want to. ;) Then you'll know. Nobody can tell you for
sure and trial and error should be viewed as not only necessary, but one of the
pleasures of your avocation (a learning process worthy of its own discovery and
delights). In other words, the process of learning
Bobish ~ how true, how true. I'm just never going to be satisfied until I see
that lovely red saddle for myself. I just have to know how my Foy will look
with it. I am hoping the comfort differences aren't VERY noticeable; I could
live with less comfortable but will draw the line at
I think a red B-17 or other ladies model if that is your preference will
be groovy with the colour scheme of the Betty Foy...but 1st treatment of
Proofide or Obernauf's may change the colour. Another thing to worry about
a bit is that the dye may transfer itself to whatever you're wearing
I contacted both Bill at Wallbike and Keven at Riv. Both think with my setup
the better-for-your-butt is the B 68. But Bill totally gets why I want the
red... I think I'll order it and see how it feels. Maybe I won't mind it for
the riding I do. I never travel over 10 miles one way. Is it
I noticed the difference right away, no milage needed.

rue the experience in the up right position and end up posting a

go for it and perhaps it'll work for you especially if they make the red

Lugged Nitto is the perfect match for brooks saddles IMO.

It's not a Foy, but the Hilsen certainly rocks the red saddle, if I do say
so myself.

More important than the aesthetics issue is the comfort issue. You won't
know until you try.
Call around local shoppes to see if they have an old B17 lying around you
could take out on a trial run. If you like the red, you could buy one thru
them.
I don't know where you are located,
Thanks, Michael! I'd sure have taken you up on that if I lived close, but I'm

The Betty Foy owner in the household votes to leave the honey saddle. I
vote red as I have done the color matching thing with a blue brooks saddle
that perfectly matches the brake cables and headset spacers on my SimpleOne.

Go red and while you're at it get some cool red foot ware along with red bottle
cages and blue bottles...why stop with the saddle? Then of course lots of

I went through the same debate with a Brooks B17 Electric Blue saddle for
my Atlantis - it matched the lettering outline perfectly. I added some
chainstay wrap in blue to touch it off and am very happy with the results.
If you like it, go for it! There is no wrong answer in personlizing.
Rock the red!
The fact that you asked makes the answer self evident.
