I have a Brooks B67S saddle that I have had for sometime between two other bikes. It is fairly broken in. I like the short nose on it. I own a 2021 59cm Clem Smith Jr. "L". It has become futile finding a seat post with sufficient setback, that measures 29.8mm. I have been riding on rivets. I have moved forward recently in getting the right shim to accept a 27.2mm seat post. Good news is the used PAUL Tall and Handsome post is coming in the mail tomorrow. With great hope, my problems will be solved with sufficient setback. I am considering on the back burner as future purchase of a Selle Anatomica H-1 saddle for more of a comfortable ride.
Has anyone used one of the Selle Anatomica saddles for upright riding ? If so, what is your experience ? Kim (boney butt) Hetzel Yelm, WA.
