Women and Brooks saddles

[Sky King]

As a counter....I ride a B68 on all my road bikes. While it may be designed for an upright bike if your sitbones need the width, the B68 will work on a road bike, albeit, I'd suggest the Imperial version (or adding a Selle Anatomica slot) as do all of mine.

BTW....glad to hear the Rivet is doing well. Let us know how it rides on a long ride. Curiousity gets to me, even if the Pearl is too narrow for me.

Awesome, thanks, I don't know anyone using a B68 on road bikes.

FYI - the DH sold my Rivet out from under me yesterday!!! Hopefully will get a new one soon (still trying to get ahold of Rivet, grrr) So I had to ride my old fizik's last night and it is NOT as comfortable in any way shape or form.

In my experience,

Brooks B17 specials seem to be made from more supple leather. I have a "Standard" and a couple of "Specials". The specials are noticably "more" comfortable straight out of the box and just in general. I love my Brooks, they are on all my bikes!

I have broad hips, but I am comfortable and my sit bones do fit on a B17. Trust me, I've got the curves.

Try one out. Get a B17 special. Go thru Wallbike so you can return it if you don't fancy it.

If you don't fit. Try out a B67 or B68.

Best of Luck to you!
