That’s a good question for the group. I have found that my bum prefers B17s

For rides >1hr, padded shorts with a leather saddle. For my 40min commute,
wool or synthetic is fine. Honestly, with a brand new Team Pro, it might
be 5 years before you're riding without padding :).

When it comes to what to wear with Brooks Saddles, my first choice is
always whatever I have on.
Usually, that’s button-fly jeans. I have (4) nine year-old pairs from The
Gap. I can’t kill them.
I wear khakis in the summer. I like boxer briefs, mostly Hanes or Gildan.

I’ve largely given up using padded liners since getting my B17 saddles on my two Riv’s. On the vast majority of rides ranging from 20-60 miles I am using merino boxers under a variety of cycling branded (Kitsbow, OrNot, Search & State) though not cycling specific shorts or pants. No comfort or othe

Looks great, Tim! I am a fellow Midwestern Riv rider, an Appaloosa, and

I do like that periwinkle color and wintry Minnesota makes a nice backdrop.
I doubt you can go wrong with a Will-curated Rivendell build either. Glad
you are enjoying the new bike and I know it will give you years of pleasure

Thanks for the responses thus far!
In buying the Team Pro I'm very much experimenting to see if it's better
than my C17's, and whether that may happen on one bike, all of them, or
none of them. In my experience, the set up is crucial and I'm really going
to take my time experimenting with set

@Jay,
I ride a Brooks B67S sprung saddle on my Clem. I have to purchase two pairs

I am hoping it is accurate! A Sergio Green Atlantis would be my ideal first

I now have exclusively cut-out leather saddles, 3 Selle Anatomica and 1

comfort, and has made my choice of bottom layer mostly irrelevant. However

Amtrak is having a sale on some of the routes. I think NYC-PHL was on the
list. You can take a bike but need a reservation. Ck details. Look for
the bike sticker on the train to tell you which ones have the racks. The
bike reservation is an extra cost.

I'm looking forward to Homers in dark green. That might have to be my first
Rivendell. A lugged Roadini is probably more appropriate for my needs, but
dark green is possibly my favorite color for a bike. I need to get a
wheelbase measurement on the Homer and make sure I can do a bike that long

I use Jackson & Gibbens. They're no longer available. If they were, or
there were others like them I'd scoop them up.

Beautifully done, enjoy it. Of all of the Rivendells I have owned I have my
2 favorites now, the Hillborne and the Saluki. The Hillborne with 48mm
tires is like riding a cloud.

Welcome, Nick! Glad to hear you're getting a Bullthistle. I've never seen

The Pro is my go to saddle shape; I'm also narrow-hipped. I like to buy
them used to shorten the break in period. For bikes that I ride for longer
than an hour, it's plastic saddles and padded shorts though.
