I will chime in as the first owner of that beautiful beast! I got in more than 100 on it, but I took extremely good care of it, and it did look absolutely new when I passed it on. Such a nice bike. Sorry it has to find a new home, but rest assured it will be loved where it lands. Good luck! Here

Update. I prepped the Hilsen last night for a 300k I'm doing on Saturday. I put a couple hours more work into trying to get these Hetres to run reasonably straight and round to no avail. I'm going to return them to Compass and see what comes of that. Instead I put new pair of Soma New Express t

Hi Bruce, It will fit on handlebars; I've used it this way briefly. The only catch is that you will probably need a longer strap for the seatpost/center strap, to fit around the stem area--you can use one of the D ring straps instead. Eric On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Bruce Curry wrote: >

I'm glad M. Berthoud is willing to support his customers, and is continuing to develop the saddle. It does look like the first leather saddle that could really replace the Brooks line. It's much easier and cheaper to fix a saddle than your anatomy! On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 6:55 PM, Rene Sterental

I don't think this is necessarily happening to all the Berthoud saddles but to a few of them. Otherwise we would have all heard of it by now. However,it has happened to enough saddles for Mr. Berthoud to work out a fix and I'm pretty sure, start working on an improved design for the frame or just i
