Call me old-fashioned (or just old) but I'm riding a Brooks B66 which I absolutely love. Not quite broken in yet but still quite nice. Before that I rode an old broken-in B17 which was wonderful. On a Specialized Gel I would still get "April Ass" in July and August on a 22 mile round trip commute. On the broken-in B17 (my son's) no problem from the moment I put it on.
