Avalanche,
You do realize that RainmanP started this thread in
June, of 2001! I think he is way beyond the breakin period

.
Saddles like everything else are a personal thing. what works for me, won't necessarily work for someone else.
Since I'm breaking in team pro now (a 20 year old one)
I can say its not as easy as a B17. Short rides for the
first 100 miles on the pro
