Bikes: too many of all kinds

Brooks don't need to be broken in. Yes, they get better over time, but they should feel good when new, or something is wrong.

Every spring I have to ride enough to condition my rear to take the chaffing of riding. If your problem is chaffing, then I would look at clothing rather than saddle (unless the saddle is literally rubbing you wrong). Try some padded bike shorts, make sure they are clean and dry, and use a little chami butter to help break in your rear.
