I'm trying to decide between a sprung saddle (Brooks B.67) or a regular saddle and a suspension post (Thudbuster ST or Rockshox.) I want something to take some of the bumps off the back while not adding ridiculous amounts of weight.
$340 for a used Crosscheck is too high, do they know how much they sell for new?. Personally I wouldn't pay much more than $275.
That Jones H-bar is like $200, isn't it?. He must laugh himself all the way to the bank.
I'd go for a sprung Brooks, but they do weigh about 900g. It's a shame you have to spec your bike around your back
