SOLD: Rivet Independence Black Leather Saddle

Ridden for ~250 miles.
  • 280mm L x 160mm W
  • Chromoly rails
  • 485g
  • Saddlebag loops -- Built-in
  • Water-resistant & Veg-tan leather
I trimmed the leather around the plate on the underside to allow for another cm or two of adjustment. Even before that this saddle has more fore/aft adjustment than a Brooks.

$125 shipped net of fees. SOLD

Just going to jump in here...if you really like the shape of the anatomica, but found it too saggy, this one's for you. These saddles are awesome, and the owner is fantastic and stands by her work.

There's some similarity to Giles Berthoud saddles, with the plastic cantle and nose piece.
Curios on how much the saddle weighs....

I'm curious about the amount of setback possible with this Independence. It looks noticeably farther back than a B-17 or my Gilles Berthoud Aravis.

What's the measurement from the back of the saddle to the forward-most part of the adjustable portion of rails (the front edge of a seatpost clamp when as far forward as possible)?

You'll have to ask someone else. I don't dilly dally when it comes to shipping. S'gone.
