So, after trying them all over the last couple months, I am (or, my
hindquarters are…) happiest with the B67. It’s the perfect fit for my sit
bones in the position I am in on the Platypus and doesn’t get in the way of
anything while pedaling. Any helpful suggestions on divesting of the spares?
Sell them here! This group loves Brooks Saddles. ;-)

B67 or B68 (no springs) if you can find one. Or a Loveland from Rivet (no
springs either).

Welcome to the club with your new marvelous Platy!!! I wish you miles
of pain free fun.
I’ve had both saddles (and the related b17 and b68, both nonsprung
versions) and the saddles that fits MY sits bones best, be it on a Platy or

I have no experience with the Brooks Flyer saddle. However, I do have
experience with the Brooks B-67-S.
I prefer the short-nosed B-67S over the long nosed B-67. In regards to the
noise of squeaking and creaking of the springs on my B-67-S riding down the
road, it does not bother me at all. Th
Thanks; nice to be a part of it. I like that the Flyer can be had with a
cutout but not sure how comfortable the hard edges of those are.
Unfortunate that B67 does not have that option but maybe I should try both
and sell whichever doesn’t work?

I thought about the Loveland but want the isolation the springs provide for
the more upright position. That said, I am not bolt upright.

I found the B68 an easy break in saddle, wish I had not sold them all, I am
too light for springs to have any benefit. I have no idea how the Loveland
from Rivet would be to break in. When you do find a B68 on eBay the prices
are generally pretty ridiculous.

Roberta, you got my last one. The B67 fits my butt well but I still liked that
wider saddle.
Glad you are enjoying it.

I really like the way a B68 looks, and was never compatible with it or the
B67 with its - for me, anyway, at 6'1", 89cm PBH and 12 stone -
unnecessarily
heavy and squeaky and purely ornamental springs.
Tried them on Rivendells and Bromptons, and found that I sank into the
saddle, with the sides
