UK website road.cc reports on new Gilles Berthoud’s products on display at the recent Eurobike trade show in Germany. M. Berthoud has developed a solution for riders who want to use the well-regarded Rohloff Speedhub fourteen-speed internal gear hub on drop handlebars.

Berthoud has also added a new model to his popular leather saddle line. The ‘Mente’ model is wider, at 180mm, and less costly than the race and tour saddles and is designed for a more upright riding position.

Wallingford Bicycle Parts looks forward to carrying these new Gilles Berthoud products as soon as they become available.

Berthoud - B.17 - Swift

Blogger ‘Rob’ , on Ocean Air Cycles, shares his experience with the Berthoud Aspin touring saddle, the Brooks B.17, and the Brooks Swift. The comparison pictures are very interesting as is his impression of the saddles.

I have come across two blogs that have good reviews of Berthoud saddles. Lovely Bicycles rides the Marie Blanque ladies saddle and there is a good discussion after the post. Bike Touring News has an article about the Aspin touring saddle.
