Warning: unless your lady is of the very most sit-up-and-beg variety, this saddle will likely be useless to her. I tried one of these, they are the shortest saddles I've ever seen! They look like they should be sold for children and riding on it was exceedingly uncomfortable. Most ladies I know on Brookses use either a b17 mens or the b63 (I'm trying the mens for the first time today and have a b63 on my mixte, which is...fairly unnoticeable, which is a good thing. The issues I have with it will potentially be fixed by getting a layback saddle as the bike is a tad too small for me. But feeling the rivets is a common issue with Brooks saddles, so is something I "feel" I should mention.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
