What's w/ all the Brooks threads? Shills? There've been Brooks threads recently in Commuting, Roadie, General and I don't even look in all the forums on BF.

But now my $0.02. I just ordered a black B17 for my mtb beater/commuter/crap-weather ride. The old Specialized BG just rubbed me the wrong way yesterday when I rode it for the first time in months after riding my honey B17 exclusively. And I've had the Spec BG for almost 10 years now. I'm spoiled by the Brooks after initially being somewhat skeptical that a saddle could be that comfortable.

Now the B17 will be the most valuable thing on that bike next to the new cyclocomp.
