Ok, a friend of mine gave me an brooks seat. He said that he had just treated it (I'm assuming with something like the Brooks saddle stuff) when he gave it to me. Well, he's out of town for a while so I can't ask him this question. I put the seat on and rode around. I've noticed that it leaves a light brown, dirt like, stain on my shorts through the butt/crotch area. I haven't washed my shorts yet to see if the stain comes out (i'm hoping it does). I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should have given the seat a thorough cleaning before using it or what? I'd hate to think I'm going to end up with a brown bottom every time I condition this seat. For that matter, how often should I condition it? I'm posting to this forum because I'm assuming more of you have brooks saddles than probably anyone else. PLEASE HELP!!!
