This poll is not about what you see on the road. It is about what those that post on cycling forums who see themselves as serious own.
It seems to me that of those that think they are serious and post on Bike forums, Brooks is very well represented.
The other part, not in the poll, but in text is many brooks owners have more Brooks than they have Butts. I have one Butt, have 2 current Brooks, one on my bike I ride and one on the shelf, and one was stolen on my original Italian MASI in the 80s - that killed me.
