Curious if any ladies have tried this saddle yet? Building up an old Schwinn Continental for a friend and trying to decide which saddle to go with for her. Trying to put as much Riv spirit in the build as possible.
I think the width is good on the Riv but it seems too long, compared to the dimensions of a Brooks B-xx Short. The Brooks Shorts are ~40mm shorter. But then again, being a rather full figured guy, I don't exactly know the importance of the shorter saddle for ladies and smaller riders, of which the friend is both. Thoughts? We are unfortunately too far inland for any place that has a saddle library for her to try different things also, so it's a buy and try situation for us. --ben in KC On Wed, Nov 15, 2023 at 9:19 AM Chris K <cmkan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just put one on and I'm not sure I like it... yet.
