Thanks!

What are the bars on the Raleigh?

Swap Meet Specials. They had the cork grips on them and everything. I have no idea what brand or model though. I was actually looking for something more like the ones on your bike and "settled" for the big cruiser bars and now that I have them I love them.

As far as the Brooks saddles go... I dunno; some people love 'em and some don't. Sounds like you're one of the people they don't work so well for. I have them on all my bikes except for the Schwinn, and I actually have one for that as well but I haven't put it on yet.
