I have 2 Brooks Saddles - a B-17 that I bought new a couple of years ago. It's my Randonneuring saddle. I have about 10,000 miles on it and consider it my best friend. It's as comfortable as the recliner in my den at home.

My other Brooks Saddle I bought used in 1978 and have it on my commuting bike. Usually ride with shorts, slacks or jeans without padding and it's comfortable, but not as comfortable as my "new" Brooks Saddle. Perhaps if I wore bike shorts. . . . None-the-less, I doubt that there are many 32+ year old saddles out there that are being ridden every day.
