    Yeah, it's the Brooks plus the Kalloy clamp specifically that is the problem. The women's is pretty much locked in place -- the size of the clamp is about the same as the amount of adjustment you get on the saddle. The men's (we have a B72 and a Team Pro) just have a tiny bit of wiggle room.

    DH and I both have Nitto Crystal seatposts i believe. Here is a photo of one with a typical men's Brooks B17 on it- you can see there is some substancial adjustment room:

    That Nitto Crystal looks a lot like my Ritchey. Lots of wiggle room!

    Beautiful post. Won't work on most of these bikes, though, because of the diameter.

    Two mixte's on ebay with no bids!

    A Schwinn and a Raleigh.

    I have that same Raleigh in mint condition that I may have to sell because it is too small. I don't believe they will ever get that much for it though.

    I rode on a gigantic foam saddle just like that last summer when I borrowed a friend's bike for a two hour ride with them. She told me "Oh you're going to LOVE this saddle, it's like riding on a pillow!"
    After 30 minutes my butt and hip joints were hurting. After an hour I was in big pain everywhere. After an hour and a half my pain was excruciating and i had to try to stand up for the rest of the ride. When i got back I could hardly walk from the pain and my entire rear was tingly and going numb. Never again!
