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

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

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.

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 yo

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

Two buddies who have ridden red Selle Anatomicas have not experienced color change after several thousand miles. Hopefully your brooks will be the same. My green brooks is still green two years later, although the copper plating of the rails is fading. On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 3:33 PM, LeahFoy w
