The Brooks Pro that graces my 1959 Capo came on a 1973 PX-10E. I was working at a Peugeot/Nishiki dealership, and the owner bought himself a PX-10, decided after a week that he was tired of trying break in the saddle, and sold the Brooks to me for $5. More than 40 years and at least 40K miles later, the saddle is showing its age, but it still works well for me. It has outlived a Nishiki Competition frame, which broke at the bottom bracket after 20 years. I am equally fond of the Brooks Team Pro that came on my Schwinn mountain bike.
