So whaddya think of my $10 saddle? Unpretty and hard as a rock aka completely unbroken in, but it's a Brooks.
Strategies for breaking it in? On a road bike I'd say a couple dozen 50 mile rides, but this bike might take a month to accumulate 50 miles . . .
Nice looking saddle! I usually put new saddles on my commuter to break them in, but I'm getting 9 miles each way. For you, I recommend riding with
these people.
