I’ve ridden Brooks forever, I had decided to try narrower than my B68 as Oi rubs my inner thigh and is annoying. So I started reading on my old trusty B17. Wow, so many models and opinions, now some discontinued. Then I stumbled onto a few (many) comments and threads on Berthoud saddles. Looking at their page I see the Mente is closest in size to the B17, the rest are narrower. But they seem to not be available unless from an eBay sellers who sell at a very high price. I ride upright, not 90 degrees but closer than not. I did read some comments on the durability of the leather which may have been caused by putting Proofide on it. Just wondering if any members who ride upright have used the saddle and how they like it. Not sure if this helps but my sitbones seem to ne a out 90mm apart, +20=110mm.

But do note, Brooks, Rivet and Berthoud
saddles all feel very, very different from each other. They
may look similar, but the feel is very different.
Hi Joel,
I have both Brooks and Berthoud saddles and prefer the Berthoud for a leather saddle. It does appear the Boulder Bikes has a couple of black Mente in stock.
Another option to look at is Rivet. Their saddles are nice as well and they have a “try before you buy” program.

I don't know if they still have the program,
but five or six years ago they did and I took advantage of it.
As it turned out, none of their saddles worked for me, but it
was well worth trying. Since then, I've tried to provide
similar assistance to friends by lending them a Berthoud Aspin.

I have a berthoud Aspin and a b17. I find so far that the Aspin is more comfortable a little less upright and the b17 is more comfortable if your upright.
