Hey Cherry Bomb! Welcome to the world of touring!!! I ride a Trek 520 and recently put a Brooks men's B17 w/Titanium rails on it .... I prefer the long, narrow design. Last month i did a tour of the UK and i was pleased with the comfort of the Brooks. I won't kid you by saying it was a match made in heaven but Mr Brooks has come a long way in pursuading me to like him!!! In the long run, it's definitely an investment worth making. Hopefully, Wallingford will be able to get back in business - they are great to work with! Let me know if you ever find yourself on the Seacoast of NH and we could compare Brooks! Good luck!
