Ok I got a BrooksB-17 saddle for the new Fuji. It is a used saddle, already broken in, but not by me. I put it on the bike this morning, went for a short ride and, it felt GREAT. Something must be wrong, they are not suppose to be comfortable right from the start! I have read all the threads, and know it takes hundreds of miles to fit right! I know it takes many, many tweaks to get it right. There MUST be something wrong. It can't be that good. Maybe I can tweak it just for fun, then tweak it back.:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Not true, but I was surprised too. Mine (a brand new one) was comfortable right from the start. It has got more so with time though - I think it ultimately boils down to whether the B17 is a good fit for you.

The person who broke it in may have a butt shaped like yours.

I don't think that person does, or would like to hear that they might! :innocent: But We can find out.
