I'm not a fan of the "fancy" Brooks saddles. I prefer the straight-forward models. I looked long and hard at the Eroica that Nashbar had deeply discounted but passed. I just can't get past the tooling on the saddle. The crazy colors don't do much for me either. Maroon is about as wild as I get...but I do have the matching maroon leather tape on that bike's handle bars though. Sweet!

I have five Brooks saddles. One Maroon Team Pro, and Olive Team Pro, a black B17, a Honey B17 and a black C17 Cambium. All are fairly new. The maroon Team Pro has the most miles and fits like a glove. That C17 is pretty comfy right out of the box.

I still lament the day that my fully broken in black Team Pro that I bought 40 years ago went missing a few years back.
