    Wanted: Brooks "women's" saddle

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I bought my spouse a used Brooks B17 saddle and got to try it out on my Terry Classic before putting it on his bike. Man oh man it was nice. But my issue is that the reach to my handlebars is so short that the long nose on the B17 makes it a bit awkward to get off the bike without a saddle snag. I think that a B17s, which is shorter and a hair wider would be about perfect. I also would consider other short nosed Brooks saddles, though I don't think I want one really wide.

    So if anyone has one for sale let me know. Thanks!

    I have a Brooks Finesse I would be willing to sell. Its in excellent condition, proofhided, and always used a raincoat on it if I got caught in the rain. The sit bone marks are over the frame, not in the regular portion of the leather, which is why it didn't work out for me. I have very long femurs so needed a saddle with longer rails. PM me if you want to make an offer. I actually have two of them..... Just never got around to listing them for sale.
