What, pray tell, was his explanation? If it was that older saddles
had a rivet at the tip and in order to get the extra power necessary
to go very fast one needs to shift their position forward so that
their crotch onto the rivet, then he is correct.
At the risk of being labled, now what is the term, ah yes, an old masters
fattie, i.e. I raced in ABLA days, I'll respond. At the time the Brooks
pro was the state of the art saddle. A leather saddle that was, when
broken in, quite comfortable. It featured rivets along the top back and
one on the front, hence on the rivet meant well forward to the tip of the
saddle.
