Nah, no matter how I adjust it, my sit bones are sitting right on the rivets. It doesn't hurt but that is not going to be comfortable over the long haul. It's not a good fit for me. My husband is going to use it after all, I think, but he's going to buy a locking seat post bolt.

I have another leather saddle, which I think is a Wright (Brooks competitor, from the 70s?) that is almost perfect. It's about a centimeter wider than the Team Pro, and it's only problem is that it has a huge fat nose on it. (Much bigger than any Brooks I've seen.) The nose rubs my thighs, but the seat platform is perfect and it's the same width as a B17. That was what made me think a B17 would work for me, so I'm going to go with one of them once I can afford bike parts again. (And a Champion Flyer for my around-town road bike might be a higher priority.)

Pooks, I missed your question: it does have copper rails. Which is why I am so sad that it did not work for me.
