Brooks Saddles

[Biciclista]

I just got a great deal on a Brooks B67 for my commuter bike. Just $60.00 and still in the box! The down side is that it is green . My bike is green two, so I think it will sort a clash a bit but I am hoping it will get darker with age and oil!

PICTURES!!! PLEASE! I didn't know B67 came in green!

They came in green a couple of years ago and I haven't seen them since. I'll try to post pics tonight. In the mean time, the guy has 3 more! the down side is that he is in Michigan and I don't know if he will ship.

I've been looking at the various threads on saddles and am getting a little crossed-eyed. I'm hoping someone can help clear up a few things.

I'm interested in a Brooks saddle but not sure which model to start with.

I measured my sitbones using a few of the methods listed here and consistantly came up with a 14cm center to center/16cm outer edge to outer edge.

I ride a road bike not very upright but not aggressive either (handle bars are about level with the saddle.) Ride anywhere from 15 miles to 40 miles at a time and occasionally longer distances at a time.

On my 4th saddle and from what I have gathered here, it sounds like I need a more T-shaped saddle than pear. I have chaffing and soreness at the leg bend/undie line.

Looking at Brooks saddles, it sounds like maybe the B68. But isn't that for a more upright position?

Also, saw someone noted the B17 is pear shaped, but I thought somewhere else someone said it was more T shaped. But I could mistaken, I've been looking at a lot of posts.

Any ideas of which model to try?
Thanks!
