Help choosing a Brooks

[Veronica]

I like the shorter nose of the Finesse because when I stand to climb I feel the B-17 hitting my legs and I don't feel the Finesse.

Hey Liz welcome to TE! I have 4 brooks saddles, none of them are "women's"

I like the shorter nose of the Finesse because when I stand to climb I feel the B-17 hitting my legs and I don't feel the Finesse.

And just to be the "everyone's different" contrarian...

One of the things I *do* like about my B-17 is that when I stand to climb, the nose is still (just barely) there. It feels more secure to me, and it means I can just slide back at the end of the climb, without hooking my shorts.

I'm probably the only one who likes the nose for that particular reason, I admit, but...it's still a reason!

Gosh, you take nice photos, skyhand! Very pretty! That's a different color than I think I've seen - I like it! Goes beautifully with the rivets.

I am GREEN with envy. That is one beautiful saddle.

If only those photos really do it justice! Really there's nothin' like having it in hand. Incredible craftsmanship.

Now, let's hope my bootie likes it!
