I was searching around and could not find any good pictures of any bikes on here with either of the saddles mentioned. I recently ordered a B66 in antique brown but I was sent a B135 in black by mistake.
Now, I am not sure whether or not to return it.
I know they are the same dimensions up top but i was wondering if anyone could post pictures of their bikes with either of these 2 saddles mounted on them, I want to see how much the under carriage makes a difference aesthetically.
 
I cant do pics yet, but have had a B66 for a good long time. I think it is a nice compromise in undercarriage unless you really need/want that very early look of the 135, though I have read that they do ride very nice, too. I know if I had a 135 I would not have had to look for another deep spring early style for my 'rod' build, so maybe you need one of each :D .
BTW, I like your 'speed' bike on the 'In Front of' thread; wouldnt mind if you PMed me with what all it is :D .
 
I decided to send it back man, I liked the 135 but it is black, and I wanted the cleaner looking B66 in the dark brown, I just think that it will look better with the color combo that I am using. As far as my bike in the "In front of thread"
It's a 1966 Schwinn Collegiate that I painted with rustoleum smoke gray enamel. I ditched the 26 wheels and cog and threw on some 700c coaster brake wheels. They are nothing fancy, just some generic v wheel with a histop coaster brake that I picked up for 70$. The tires are 700x40c electra tires and the bars are velo orange belleviles.
The seat is a cheap 20 saddle that I bought at performance Bike and so is the bar tape.
 
Heres my Electra Cruiser 1 with a B66.

Thanks man, the more I look at one, the more i realize I made the right choice. I was tempted for the deep spring of the 135, but the clean styling of the 66 just looks right.
 
Without the front spring I think you can slam it down a little farther for that low-rider/board tracker style. No doubt about it, for the money you are buying class that lasts.
