Oh, I should add that I did buy one during that sale mentioned which is a good savings off the regular price but I personally am not going to buy another. I've seen the Rivet saddles in person and they look lovely but have never ridden one. Appears to be quality made (the Rivet). On Sunday, D

Well this is a topic near and dear to my heart! :) I love Brooks saddles but ventured into SA due to good reviews on the net. As usual I went over board and bought like 4 of them (I own a bunch of bikes). After riding them and getting the sag I tightened them and the skirts of the saddle s

I destroyed an SA 'X' saddle in a single century ride a couple years ago... To be fair I was pushing their stated weight limit at about 240lbs but it was clear to me the saddle wasn't for me. I've had a second hand Rivet for about two years now and love it, much thicker leather and overall a

I have Selle Anatomicas on all 4 of my bikes. RBW used to sell them and that was where my first one came from. They do stretch at first and then they stop if you follow the instructions and don't over tension. They also sell a longer replacement bolt for extra life on a worn saddle. Their comfy
