I thought I'd try out a B67 but found it just doesn't quite agree with my anatomy. I purchased this from another member on the forum, and can't improve on his pics, so I'll attach the link below to his original post with pics.

$90 includes shipping CONUS

Please message me if you have any questions, etc.

Thanks,

Al in Va

I can see why Al. The seat bone indentations are quite extensive. A sad saddle.

Thanks Kim, I appreciate the information, though I will have to admit that I would be even more appreciative had I received this info via a message, as requested, whereupon I would have deleted my post and offered it free of charge.

I am rather unfamiliar with this type of saddle, and it is to my chagrine that I would buy, and then resell defective/worn merchandise from/to the terrific folks on this forum.

It's not defective, I see plenty of adjustment left to pull the leather tighter and raise the sitbones area a bit. I have a Brooks B17 ti which I purchased used with noticeable break-in and it's crazy comfortable, this B67 may be quite nice for someone who's into them and is willing to fiddle with it.

Thank-you, Joe. Yes, indeed Al's saddle needs a lot of adjustment to pull the leather tighter and raise out the seat bone impressions perhaps along with some Obenauf's HP leather conditioner.

Leather saddles need attention and awareness of how and when to treat or tighten the tension bolt in the life of the saddles. I own a B67S saddle. I have owned it for a very long time.

That is a B67 Softened that is missing its laces. The holes allow you to put laces through them, to reshape the saddle. I have several B68 versions - my favorite saddle. You can color coordinate the laces if you want.

A saddle worth saving.

Good observation Laing. Thank-you.

I, personally, have not owned a Brooks saddle with laces, yet. Just the Brooks B-17 and Brooks B67S.
