Thanks everyone! The color in person is truly amazing . I think it’s much deeper and richer blue than the previous one . My jpeg shot from the camera is highly stylized and does not represent the color accurately . I will post additional pictures later this week .
Calvin, Yes they are berthoud saddle - aspin model. They worked well with albatross bar on my Atlantis but are great with drop bars on homers! . I think with more upright position you are probably better off with Berthoud’s wider model or brooks b17. I personally could never get along well with brooks b17 ; no matter how I angled the saddle I would either feel like I am sliding off or start hurting .
