Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy and Red Brooks
If Brooks ever does create a red B68 or B67, I'm in! I didn't get to ride much today, but I'm on my way to getting the saddle dialed in. I just can't remember if I had it scooted more forward than I currently do. I've been messing with that bike since I got it so I can't be sure how I last had it, when I thought it was so perfect! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy and Red Brooks
Hi again, Leah, I've been following the thread with great interest and suspense. :) I was one of the responders who preferred the looks of the honey b-68 and also thought you'd prefer it on that bike due to the upright riding position. But I also thought you needed to try it ASAP and see for yourself so that you could move on. And so now you have, and life is good. Worry not. All part of the fun of the trial and error process. You don't know how good anything is until you try something just a little to this or that side of it. And I know that you'll get your b-68 dialed back in. Just be patient.

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy and Red Brooks
Now you know... and knowing is priceless! That being said, there are things I firmly believed I had come to know, like which saddle I liked and which one I didn't, or handlebar, or pedals, and all of a sudden, when I try them again, I decide that know I like them better than the previous best one. That's why I have a hard time selling some of the items I've bought... With saddles I keep going back and forth between the B17 and the Berthoud saddles, started with the B17 on all my bikes, decided I didn't quite like it and tried the Berthoud. Decided I loved it and preferred it. Now two of my bikes where I ride more upright on Bosco handlebars have B17 saddles (Betty and Hunqapillar) and the other two where I have Rando drop bars and lean forward a bit more have Berthoud saddles. So nothing wrong with returning the red B17 and recapturing the perfect saddle position you had before (and then never again removing the saddle from the seatpost until it has to be replaced), or you could get a second seatpost and play around with the B17 for a while to see if you can find its sweet spot. I can tell you that it's in these minor tweaks and adjustments where the key to comfort resides; that and allowing some time to break in the saddle and or get used to the new contact areas on your derriere... If you could only find some red leather matching grips...

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy and Red Brooks
Rene, Well stated. The minor adjustments are the secret. I think the Red saddle looked good too also thought red grips would have helped. I for one thought the B-68 saddle was the ticket in the upright position plus women tend to be anatomically different which that saddle addresses. Too bad they don't make it in Red.

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty Foy and Red Brooks
Just finished a bike project and opted for the black truleather Selle. Was thinking about the red, but if it wasn't quite the same color as the red frame, would have looked out of place. On another bike, have the blue B-17, but you can't tell it's blue - it looks black. Between the two, the Selle is the more invisible-feeling (length and width are identical), but don't know if it will hold up like the Brooks.

I had a green B17 that lasted fine. I think you'll be ok :-) Cheers, David On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 4:14 PM, LeahFoy jonasandle...@gmail.com wrote: Worried, I spoke to Bill from Wallbike. He says that the old Brooks colored saddles were a black or brown saddle topped with a different color. The abrasion on the saddle made the true color show through almost immediately. Brooks has changed the way these saddles are made over the past few years - something about using a new tanner. I'll quote him here: The color variations that have been introduced in the last few years are the result of Brooks finding a tanner with a new process for coloring the leather. All in all I would guess that the color in your red saddle would be as stable as the black, honey, and antique brown versions. If I had a bike that could use a red B.17 I wouldn't hesitate to use one. Also, he was clear that re-dyeing is a poor option; the leather has to be raw and the new color won't stick over the old dye. Are you all out of excuses not to buy that cheery red saddle? Join me, the water's fine! *Grin* I feel better! Seriously, All, thanks for the discourse; I'm definitely learning more all the time!
