wow, new B68 with cutout Imperial

[Thorn]

Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for those pictures! But then I want to put my selle-anatomic-ized B68 next to yours to see how they compare.

DH doesn't seem to find the lacing all that important on his B17 Imperial, but I lace the B68 tight or the sides flare out. I'll be curious as to your experience with the real deal B68 Imperial.

One of my B67's is starting to flare. It doesn't bother me when i ride (for whatever reason!) but it looks odd. I consider lacing it; as my new saddle came with 3 spare laces (in 3 different colors!)
I'll post a photo shortly. I have it smeared all over with prufhide at the moment..

here's a photo of my new saddle - It's really really comfortable, especially compared to the saddle that came with the bike!!

I'm intrigued, but I think my sit bones stick out far enough that I have no contact with the saddle where the cut out is anyway.

Looks great Mimi

Those edges look pretty abrupt, of course they have to be since it is a leather saddle. Does that cause any pinching issues?

[OakLeaf]

That's just what I wonder about those, too. It looks like on me it would cut or dig in. Ow.

no pinching issues. remember the saddle itself is pretty stiff. there's no way anything could get pinched it really just gives you a tiny bit more space there.

I guess if you weren't wearing anything from the waist down it might pinch, but being surrounded by tight clothing & or chamois, there's no way this can pinch.

Good point

Have you experienced any numbness along the sides? With the SI Diva Gel Flow my girly bits were very happy for the most part, bit the presence of the cutout put all of the pressure on the "sides" which caused some pretty strong numbness after the ride. I am going to try the SI Lady Gel Flow which is said to be different from the Diva Gel Flow.... but your picture got me to thinking about one of the Brooks Imperials.
