NoFx,

Have you seen my 1/2 hour in hell thread? no?
here it is:

Now, a bit of an update.
My B17 was usually pushed as far back as I could get it
given the rails, so I figured the Team Pro should be the
same. WRONG. what a difference 1/2 cm can make.
Saddle kind of dissapeared. Sure its still stiff, but I can
see where it is gonna be VERY comfortable. One thing to
consider is the shape of the TOP of the saddle, the B17 is essentially flat out to the sides, the Pro is gently curved. I think some of us Skinnyassed guys don't have enough padding to lift the taint above the leather of some saddles, not sure of this its just a theory.
Do yourself a favor, start with a B17, if its good and you
want to lose weight/bulk there is always the Pro, Swift
and Swallow (if you got the scratch for it).
Check Wallingford Bikes ( www.wallbike.com ) they have
a six month money back no questions asked guarantee on all Brooks saddles. Buy em now, prices going up
substancially soon.
