I don’t know but if anyone can get one in black, and ia willing I can swap

Unfortunately Joe that prevents me from having any decent saddle to bar
drop. As mentioned I run my bars lower than my saddle. The more aggressive
brooks saddles didn't help either as they tend to be narrower. I'm on a
Rivet brand saddle now which is a *little* better.

I always find myself (uncomfortably) sitting far back on Brooks and similar
saddles, on the rivits or hard support structure. Or I find myself sliding
into the nose. I wonder if the wider and slightly more modern shape of this
new RBW saddle would be helpful. Not running bars above saddle height
Thank you, Kim. This is so interesting to me. I find the B-17’s and other
saddles of similar width, like the Selle Anatomica, to be a bit too narrow.
Currently I’m happy riding B67 on my commuter and in-town bike, and B68s
on my Rivs, However, I’d like to have a less fancy saddle on my
comm
I have the non-microfiber version -- if you (or anyone else) would be
interested in it, feel free to contact me off-list.

Thanks for the recommendation, Liz! Unfortunately I’m going to have to
agree with Jim. I’ve used microfiber saddles in the past and I’m not able
to slid around on them enough for my liking.
For what it’s worth, my solution to the saddle theft problem thus far has
worked well enough. I use a RandyJ
The problem I had with the Velo Orange saddle was the microfiber cover. I
couldn't slide back and forth-the top is like velcro!

Velo Orange says this (affordable, and now close-out) saddle is like the
B17. Looks to be a small bit narrower.

A B17 is 174mm wide so that Riv saddle is WIDE

Does anyone happen to have the measurements of a B17 handy for comparison?
I’ve wanted to throw a less attractive saddle on my grocery getter because
saddle theft is a thing around here with nice saddles, but I have yet to
find anything as comfortable.

to like about it.
