Yes, the B67 is specifically designed for upright city bikes and commuters. The integrated springs and wider profile provide excellent support and shock absorption when your weight is centered directly over the saddle.

To keep the leather supple and protected, you should apply a leather dressing like Brooks Proofide periodically. It is also recommended to use a saddle cover if you frequently park your bike in the rain, as soaking wet leather can lose its shape.

At 850 grams, this saddle is significantly heavier than modern performance saddles made from plastic and foam. It is built for durability and comfort rather than weight savings, making it best suited for commuter or touring bikes where weight is less of a concern.

Yes, the B67 features a tensioning bolt at the nose of the saddle. Over time, as the leather stretches, you can use a tensioning spanner to tighten the leather and maintain the proper shape and support.

The B67 is distinguished by its coil springs, which offer extra comfort on rougher roads, and its wider, more supportive shape. It is essentially the sprung version of the popular B66, designed specifically for bikes with modern micro-adjust seatposts.
