My ass and my brooks B-17 Saddle became pals!!! Today I jumped on it for my daily conmute and ...voila!!! It feels like a glove.... I just decided to post this in case someone gets frustrated by the amount of time it takes to break them in... dont loose faith. Not that it was not comfy before but after 1 hours It felt uncomfy... Today two hours... and no problem..super...

Check 2 things
Is it at a flat angle, or is it a little nose down? Set it flat
2nd, are you sitting too fat back on the saddle? If so, you are sitting on the frame and that will kill your kiester! :eek:
