I sold all but one of my Brooks and Selle Anatomica's (I have a B67 if anyone's looking) and have replaced them all with Ergon SF and one Rivendell Clem saddle. I always wear regular clothes when riding and the Ergon SF is less uncomfortable than all the leather saddles were for me. The Riv is

Very happy with mine which I put on the platypus first. I liked it so much I bought 2 more for my other bikes. One came a little lopsided but they replaced it promptly and I am a happy camper. The more I ride this saddle, the better I like it. I like it more than my Brooks at this point. Give

Bumping this thread! I just made an order from Blue Lug and noticed they had them in stock. I decided to give it a try since saddles are always a thing and my brooks are all getting quite old and stretched. Now that the seat has been out for a few months I am curious how ya'll are feeling

Chris - I wanna say my Ergon saddle is the SR Allroad Comp. Nice basic saddle. On Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 7:58:55 AM UTC-7 Steven Seelig wrote: > I replaced a Brooks Flyer Curved on my Xtracycle now Bafang E-bike that is > about as upright as it gets. Agree that at first I wasn't sure

I replaced a Brooks Flyer Curved on my Xtracycle now Bafang E-bike that is about as upright as it gets. Agree that at first I wasn't sure where this part of my sit bone connected to that part of the saddle. After a few more rides, I simply forgot it was on the bike at all. Given that with

I have it on my Platy currently. It replaced a Selle Anatomica H2 (at least for the winter). The SA was a tad too narrow since I swapped to slighly more upright bars. I haven't yet decided if the Riv saddle is too wide (by 1-2cm). I don't really care for the wide nose of the Riv saddle, but I

I just purchased and it just doesnt work for me. I would echo Chris K in that I'm not sure where to sit on it. The nose of the saddle is a bit wide and I get pain below my left sit bone after longer rides. I think if it were just a tad narrower it would be work for me. Other than that it's a

Chris Which Ergon did you use that has a narrower horn? Curious if it's one of the wider Ergons for more upright riding. On Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 7:19:28 AM UTC-8 Chris K wrote: > Just put one on and I'm not sure I like it... yet. The material is comfy > but I can't tell where I

With several more rides and miles, I am liking it more and more. I like the ability to move around on it. No soreness. Currently set up in a fairly upright position, around 60º or so. The horn is still a little wider than I would prefer, but I guess I'm getting used to it. On Saturday,

Didn't. Looks comfortable. If it was a little bit narrower I'd keep it. NWT. Never mounted. On Tue, Nov 14, 2023, 10:14 AM Jon Craig (Vendraen) wrote: > Huh - I'm curious. Did you ever have the black plastic one they included > with the 2016 Sam completes? If so, how does it compare? > > On

Curious if any ladies have tried this saddle yet? Building up an old Schwinn Continental for a friend and trying to decide which saddle to go with for her. Trying to put as much Riv spirit in the build as possible. I think the width is good on the Riv but it seems too long, compared to the

Just put one on and I'm not sure I like it... yet. The material is comfy but I can't tell where I should be sitting on it, if that makes any sense. Coming from an Ergon saddle the nose of the Riv saddle is super wide. That's my least favorite part of the shape. On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at
