Saddle...

The brooks B17 saddle is the number one most recomended saddle for touring. it is old school, and they simply don't make anything like them anywhere else. Most people buy them from www.wallbike.com because of the generous return policy. For most they are not that comfortable when you first get them, but once they have a chance to take the shape of your butt, they are unbeatable when it comes to being in the saddle all day long. there are several different types of brooks saddles. To find out more info, search for brooks on this forum. there are probably over 100 threads that talk about the saddle, the different models, and what to recomend for different bike setups.
