I tried a few different Brooks on there but I'm old now and can't ride in the drops. I've got to ride upright and sitting 80% of the time. I may get a new reissue B72 and try but I haven't run into a vintage 72 in good enough condition so far.
The saddle on it now is very nice and like sitting on a bench. It's a Selle Royale Scientia R3. Fairly light and very comfortable.
