New Brooks B17 Standard





Just got it today from the Chinese version of eBay, called Taobao.

I was on my commute home when I got a call to come and pick it up. Got home, took the other one off, kept my rear light and reflector down low on my seatpost, and went for a ride to try and find some sno-seal.

Given the language difficulties I have here, I managed to convey what I wanted and they all seemed to understand, but nobody had any.

At first I found the swaying motion a little wierd, but am starting to like it.

It seems a tad higher than the standard Giant seat, but I was thinking of lifting it a tad anyway.

I did stop and slide it backward twice, and now find it comfortable.

Will see what happens as I put my km on it. I added at 4500km on this bike.
