When I look back on my first Brooks thread this was how I felt, after I first installed it.

It took less than 200 miles to get basically "comfortable" with the B-17 I bought (basically comfortable meaning I felt as good on the Brooks as i felt on my old saddle). Everything after that is just gravy, right?

Now I have the original B-17 I bought and an Imperial. The Imperial felt awesome the first time I put my butt on it and I liked it so much, I laced and cut-out my original B-17, also.
