I have Brooks saddles on all my bicycles and have put thousands of kilometers ... like 50,000+ ... onto my Brooks saddles. And I love them. They are the most comfortable saddles I've ever experienced.
Oh, and I'm a woman.
I'm not a woman. But I agree with you. I have two vintage bikes, an old Nishiki and a Raleigh Super Course. Both have Brooks saddles.
Both are comfortable enough that I don't think of them while riding.
And that is the best endorsement possible for a bicycle seat.
Tomorrow's ride will be 28 miles with 2200 vertical feet climbs included.
I loaded the carbon bike in the back of the Jeep, anticipating those hills.
But then this thread made me think of the Romin seat on the Tarmac . . . and the Brooks B17 saddle on the old Super Course.
Excuse me. I'm going out to switch bikes.
Brooks saddles have no equal. Trolls without names, dissing anonymously on a product, won't change that.
