This may or may not be a question aimed specifically at Clem owners. Rivendell suggest the B67 for very upright positions. But, most Riv bikes (Clem or other) I see have either B17, Flyer or other brand leather saddles (Rivet, RH, SAA...). Even when I take a look at the Riv "staff bikes" I rarely see a B67, though most of the bikes look pretty upright. FWIW, I tried a secondhand B67 on my Jones bike when I was struggling to get comfortable on it after converting it from my mountain bike to my everything else bike. In that effort I swapped the Jones loop bar for a more swept back bar (Soma Oxford) and jacked the bars up using a VO Cigne stem. I was pretty comfortable but just could not get the B67 in a place where I was not sliding forward so I (foolishly?) sold it. But the experiment led me to my interest in and eventual purchase of my Clem (Lucky day!). To date I have only ridden the Clem with my trusty SQ Labs saddle and it has been great for most of the nearly 600 miles I have put on the bike. Most of those rides have been between 1 - 2.5 hours in length. The other day I went almost three hours and my sit bones were getting uncomfortable. My thinking is that the SQ is just too narrow for the very upright position. The B67 seems the natural choice. Thus my question - why do I not see more B67's on Riv bikes and on Clem's in particular?
