I've had the same experience with the honey / black. Fortunately the last black B-17 I acquired had been pre-aged by a previous owner. :) My honey saddle is like heaven since new. (after the ~10th ride)
I've a green B-17 (ti) that I've had to struggle to break in. I'd say the stiffness was similar to what I have experienced with black saddles. Since backing off the tensioner and applying obenaufer's - and riding it, it's getting to feel much more comfortable. Don't be shy about moving the saddle fore and aft as well as angling the nose. It's all quite dependent on your handlebar height/reach as well. Phil B On Mar 30, 11:29 am, William <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmmm...I'll keep that in mind.
