[RBW] Re: Reading saddle threads, B17, Berthoud Mente

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

Just to add my .02. I have a 2013 Honda Fit. I also have a 64cm Toyo Atlantis with fenders. It’s a bit fussy, but I can fit with the front wheel removed. Which is nice as far as not worrying about the bike when we’re in the city or overnight, etc. Honda Fit is kind of a cheap little car, but

Hi seattle resident here. I'd recommend the San Juan islands. Washington State Ferries are great for bikes, you get to cut the hellish lines. Lopez is my favorite island, I go there twice every summer. Beautiful and laid back cycling. Camping is great, beach sites!, at Spencer Spit state park. L
