any Cambium users out there? i NEVER see Cambiums for sale used. So either no one is buying them (except maybe the BSNYC), or they are excellent.
I'm really wanting to put one on a bike build I'm working on, but $130 is a LOT for me (which is why I'll never get a Berthoud....).
I picked up very lightly used B17 for $60 late last fall, but only a few short rides on it so far.
I have a Cambium C17 that I put on my AWOL, replaced a Flyer that belongs on my Randonee. I read the Cambium reviews and liked the fact that it supposedly has a 0 break in and is weather resistant so I gifted myself one for Christmas. I replaced the Flyer with the Cambium and initial experience is that it is nowhere near as comfortable as my Flyer and less comfortable than I remember my flyer being when I first got it. I'll defer final judgment until I can ride in warmer weather but if comfort doesn't dramatically improve I don't see it being mounted on my bike past spring.
As far as the break in for my Flyer is concerned it was okay when I first got it, I felt it after longish rides but never hurt hurt. After around 500 mi. it got to the point where I didn't even notice it and that is where it has remained.
