Rivet also makes the slightly narrower Independence. Got to tell you, I'm sick of saddle experiments though.

I was riding a Berthoud before, which measures 160mm wide. <br /><br />I think the Berthoud is the better width, but I was getting saddle sores right on my sitz bones with it so I tried something new. The Rivet feels good in some ways, it doesn't seem to cause the same irritation, but I'm still not sure...
