Thanks Steve, but it's simply still too hard , regardless . Sitting on the frame covered with leather is not any different than the Brooks . The rivets themselves are not the point and I used the term "riding on the rivets" as another take on the term which in racing means to ride on the nose of the saddle in max effort. The lack of padding and shape of it are the only issue. I do love the look of these and all leather saddles , I love the idea of them , the simplicity . It's this way for me with denim jeans too , they look fantastic and their simplicity is marveled , they just don't feel right at all to me .
