New saddle day.
First the old:
And the new:
I wanted copper rivets because they look cool, so I got copper rivets from eBay for a decent price. This makes … five B17s in the house haha.
The old saddle (with silver rivets) is the best broken in Brooks I currently have. It’s perfect. The copper one will get there with time though: Right now it needs the nose adjusted for more tension. It looks pretty unused but is actually a little floppy from the previous owner’s miles. If the nose adjustment doesn’t work I’ll lace it like the old one.
Also threw some new bar tape on this bike. I tried out the BTP brand fake leather and it was awful. My LBS had some woven bar tape that looked cool - also BTP brand - so I’m trying that.
No new acquisitions and I’m trying hard to keep it that way. In fact I might sell the 1984 Trek 830. I’ve had it for 10 years and really loved it, but it doesn’t get the miles anymore.
