I agree. The emporer is naked, and he rides a brooks.

Things I can not understand people saying:
"Break in period"
"Not in the rain"
"stains regular shorts"
"must moisturize" (poof hide)
"body will adapt"
"needs to air out from excess sweat"
and then saying they are the best most comfortable saddle around. I like the way they look, and the old school concept. However, having rode one for a month strait: I can not understand the way people love them.
