I don't know if they still have the program, but five or six years ago
they did and I took advantage of it. As it turned out, none of their
saddles worked for me, but it was well worth trying. Since then, I've
tried to provide similar assistance to friends by lending them a
Berthoud Aspin.
Thanks John, your Next to last line made me laugh.

I believe Rivet Cycle Works has a saddle "Try Before You Buy" program, and
they have a few different saddle widths which might works for you. Before
you go buying a Berthoud, you might try out Rivet's saddles. Couldn't hurt?
Well no, we're talking saddles here, so yes it could hurt, but it
I remeasure last night and got 110+30=130. Thanks

You can purchase Gilles Berthoud saddles from Rene Herse Cycles, the
Berthoud dealer in the U.S.
The widest models most like the B17 are the Mente, the Aubisque, and the
Vars. The Mente is the economy model without the torx head bolts allowing
you to change leather tops. The Aubisque has
Hi, I bought a Mente from Boulder Bicycle. The transaction was great, the
saddle not so great. I’ve been a b17 and team pro rider. I was replacing a
broken b17 Ti. I picked the Mente since it seemed closest in width to the
b17. I’ve not really been able to get comfortable, though. The shape is
Thanks Steve.

Sorry for the delay. I have both Berthoud's Aspin and Aravis; the only
difference is the rail material, steel vs titanium. I also have a Rivet
Independence. Important to me is they all have the cutout, which makes a
huge difference in comfort. I also like the narrowness as I have
I've tried the lot and like the Berthoud and Rivet saddles best. The Mente
however didn't work for me and I gave it away. I suspect I was not upright
enough. For a wider upright saddle my favorite is the Rivet Imogene. I
found it comfortable out of the box. I got the unslotted allroad model.
Hi Joel,
I've ridden (and still ride) Brooks B-17 and Berthoud Mente and Aspin
saddles. The widths from widest to narrowest is Mente > B-17 > Aspin. My
sit bones are 125mm apart, and which saddle I like best depends on the type
of riding I do on it. For touring, the Mente wins. For general

I think for me, the Berthoud shapes are better. Also, the Berthoud
tension adjustment mechanism is superior. I like the built-in bag loops
on the Berthoud much better than the metal ones (if present) on
Thanks Steve, zi wasn’t sure if that was a good way to go. Have you ridden
the Mente? What do you think of Berthoud vs. Brooks?

Joel,
You can purchase directly from Gilles Berthoud in France. The website has
an English-language version and purchase and receipt has gone perfectly for
me on several items.
