My touring bike is in London, I'm in Colorado until we meet up again in September for a ride this fall and winter.
The touring bike is a Salsa Fargo with drop bars. The stock seat served me well while touring England. I'm going to switch to a more upright position for comfort. My current bike came out of a dumpster and is about 20 years old. Aside from a slightly bent bottom bracket, it is in good working order, a little heavy but it's got new cables, break pads, chain etc. I aslo switched out the handlebars to an upright position. If anyone is interested it's an original Kona mountain bike.
The seat sucks! My plan is to put a new saddle on it (Brooks if I can work out the best fit) and then take it with me to put on the Salsa.
I could try measuring my sit bones but where does one find an instrument that precise?
Okay, so this Brooks is for a more upright position? If so I would look at the B68 but then if you want to also put the same saddle on the Salsa I see the dilemma as you are in two different positions and a B68 isn't going to be comfy with drop bars and a more forward position.

Hope you read the measuring sit bones thread and of course to muddy the waters further - pear shaped and t-shaped.

I am riding the rivet pearl and like it so far, was concerned it may be to pear shaped for me but haven't had any issues but then again, i have yet to ride it over 35 miles in one sitting.
just an fyi, we also offer a six month return on saddles
