going specialized for that very reason

keep me updated on your finding, and toss me a few tips as you go

I bought the bike used so no LBS support for returns. (they guy i bought it from had it for 4 months and rode it 100 miles, it was like new)
great idea about swapping the saddle and post back and forth, sadly two different sizes by a big margin.

hear great things about the brooks, how does it handle rain? also out of vanity i need to get a white saddle (mind may change as arse sees fit)
