Thanks UFrost. That big tube to me looks like weight although it isn't. Rest assured if I'm gonna spend 1K, and that's a lot of $$$ for me it'll be right.
I've got a B17 Brooks on my FX, I think the break in period is greatly overdone. I also have a Brooks B67 on my 4300. The one with springs. Awesome. The 4300 is my grocery getter and around town bike, also, the one I've put the most miles on just 'dickin' around'.
