I would like to hear from women who are riding Brooks Saddles.

1. What Brooks saddle are you riding?

2. What saddles did you ride before?

3. What was the last saddle you rode before switching to a Brooks saddle?

4. How much more comfortable are you now that you are riding a Brooks saddle?

I love Brooks!

1) B-17 Narrow 1977 to present on Raleigh SuperCourse,
Champion Flyer since Dec 2006 on Bianchi Milano

2) All Brooks except for brief interlude on Bianchi Milano's Stock Saddle.

3) Bianchi Milano Stock Saddle(2004 -2006) which I upgraded to the Brooks Champion Flyer.

4) They are so comfortable, I have no wish for anything but a Brooks.

FYI I use the standard Brooks, not the shorty women's "S" -versions

Hi,
my wife rides a Brooks Finesse. I got her about a dozen before settling on that one. She tried 3 or 4 from Terry including the Butterfly and the Liberator.
She tried a B17, a WTB Ti womens saddle, forget the name.

I rode a Saddleco Flow--great idea. not durable last only 8,000 miles. the hard plastic edges created a serious problem from time to time.
