I think the biggest problem is finding that 150 mm width. Seems most models go from 133 - 140 mm, then the next size is like 165 - 170 mm. (Why do they do that?!)
So, any suggestions?
**** in order to sit comfortably any
Brooks one must sit on one's "Sit Bones" (
Sitbones Measuring Device ) (
FAQs - Kontact Bike ) to have a hope of comfort. Brooks are leather sling seats meant to support your spine NOT your BUTT!!!!
That said, until you learn how to sit a bicycle seat correctly you will never find a comfortable seat.
