New Saddle?
Thinking of a Rivet or a Berthoud - anyone here have any thoughts?

Asking for saddle recommendations is like asking what is the best color. Everyone is different.
But, to answer your question, I've tried a Rivet saddle, don't recall the model, but it was their medium width one I believe. I took advantage of their test ride program. Had the saddle for a couple of months and put a couple hundred miles on it in that time. Just didn't work out for me, so I returned it. Great company to work with. Product quality seemed very good, but just didn't fit me.

Agree with vwchad. A saddle is totally personal. Tryout different ones, if you can, and once you found a saddle that suits you, stick with it.
