I really like Berthoud saddles. The Mente to me is the best saddle for
very upright riding positions. Mainly because I don't have to ride with
the nose super high like I do with the Brooks. I also like the Aspin for
bikes with drop bars. I've been wondering, though, what the
Soulor/Galibier
B.17s stopped working for me a couple of years ago and I switched to
Berthoud Aspins. I can't help with the "fore-aft hump" because my
saddles never developed ridges like that, but for sure the Berthoud
leather is much thicker and sturdier, and does not sag the way B.17s do.

I've been a Rivendell fan for years having owned 4 different bikes. I used
B-17 saddles for years, but with wear, as the area under my sit bones would
settle, the hump in the saddle( running for-aft) would cause extreme
discomfort. I just had to give up on Brooks. I have been using a Secialized

I think it's extremely comfortable with drop bars at approximately
saddle height. As others have said, it does not stretch out like the

Oh, and at least to my taste, the Berthoud saddles are gorgeous.

The Lovely Bicycle blog has a few articles about Berthoud saddles. Here's one.

I considered, but did not try the less expensive Berthoud Menthe, and a model

Thanks, Jason. Could you please tell my what you mean, what you experienced
with the more slippery Berthoud and why you prefer it to the Brooks?
With abandon,

Anyone here have experience with Berthoud Saddles? From what I can tell they
are thicker, better quality, and more comfortable than Brooks are, sounding
like what people say of Brooks from 30 years ago. Boulder cycles also has a 6
month saddle guarantee, which is attractive.
