Sorry about your friend's bike getting stolen here. I've lost a couple over the
years. It's a horrible feeling. Don't people teach their kids not to steal!
Didn't they used to hang horse thieves?
Rant over.
Please look me up if you do make it over here.

Jay, a bike tour of Israel would be awsome! Especially the coast and
highlands. I'm a bit of a naturalist nut, rare plants and all, great way to
find by bike (such as Forest Service roads in the USA). My buddy Ben did
most of Israel by bike until he had dinner one night before he had found
Just placed my order for a Rivet Pearl. Excited to see if it makes it here
for the weekend. Thank you for everyone's feedback. Although I was
leaning toward Rivet from the start (They were so nice at NAHBS last year),
it was nice to get some discerning points of view from this group. I
The Rivit Pearl looks intriguing, but I have had too many issues with
leather saddles stretching after 100+ sweaty miles. I have been replacing
my Selle Anatomica Titantico X with Cambium C17 Carved, but it gets
expensive. My Cambium shows no sign of the cracking/splitting that I have
seen on
Hey John,
I think a big difference is that the C17 is totally synthetic and
waterproof whereas the Rivet is not, but no doubt you already know that.
Though I've not used a C17 Carved so I can't speak directly to the
comparison, I have been getting used to a Rivet Independence on my AHH
since
I have a Rivet on my Sam and a not carved C17 on the Brompton.
I like them both, but I like the Rivet better. If you make it to Tel Aviv
you're welcome to try them out.

If there's an opportunity to try out the Rivet I'd say go for it. I have a
carved C17 and while it's probably the best vegan saddle I've come across,
it's far from as magic as I would have hoped it to be.

Berthoud is also making cut-out versions of their saddles now.
I like the Cambium C17 and Berthoud's Aspin with Noodle bars, and the
Berthoud Vars with Albatross bars, but like Steve said, the only opinion
that matters is yours.

I have no experience with the C17 carved, but I just swapped out my
Hunqapillar's B17 for a Rivet Pearl. The latter is more comfortable, looks
great, and is flat and doesn't rise in back, meaning that I'm no longer
sliding forward and constantly having to readjust myself on the seat.

The lining under the saddles is an intricate brocade. "Hey, this is

Boom. Sold.
Rivet has a 1 year love it guarantee. That put them top on my list and I
never needed to look further.
With abandon,
