BUT, you might have to give a BROOKS saddle another try! The B17 "standard" is wider than the Professional/Swift/Swallow saddles ... for cosmetic reasons, I would suggest one with the larger, hammered, copper rivets. Despite what Grant Peterson recommends, the initial setup should be with the rails perfectly horizontal ... that will provide a shallow "shelf" upon which you can sit if you set the saddle's fore-aft so that your sitbones are over the area encompassed by the rivets. I do NOT recommend Proofide ... SnoSeal is subjectively better & definitely less expensive AND SnoSeal doesn't have any "fragrance" + can be buffed to a high gloss (or, not) if that is your preference. |

A classic looking beauty. What is the wall thickness: center & ends? I love the looks and ride of Waterford!... I just can't afford one.

No Brooks for me..tried twice and I am very happy with SSM Rolls, plus it looks great with the 1988 C-Record/Delta group. Rode the bike yesterday, very bright, lively ride. |

Not sure of the wall thickness, thinner than standard TrueTemper tubes. The lugs were a surprise, I think cuz we have been doing really well with Waterford lately-Thanks Richard!! |
