Come on you two! Post pictures! I've swapped the original two-tone (white and gold) saddle on my '66 Collegiate with a B-72 Brooks. I rode it 18 miles on Wednesday and I didn't have to push up one of my NH hills.
What was really interesting were some of the looks I received from other road bike cyclists passing in the opposite direction; some politely waved or nodded, others sneered and wouldn't look. Near the end of the ride I pulled over to take a better look at a pair of loons on the lake, and while I was stopped, a roadie passed in the direction I was heading. He was on a newer C-Dale 27 speed. I started back and wondered if I could catch him. I did so in less than 1/2 mile. Not bad from a 40 year old, 35-40 lb., 5 speed bike! You should have seen the look on his face when I pulled along side him and said "Howdy." When we reached the next stop sign he sheepishly asked which way I was heading. I said, "left." He immediately turned right!
