packed away someplace, apparently.

re: Brooks. I have a Brooks Swift, and while it was breaking in I didn't find it that comfortable. But, now that it and/or I have been broken in, it's quite nice for long rides. Certainly still not lightweight, but I have a 135g SLR for that. So yeah, don't judge a Brooks by the first couple hundred km on it! It takes time to get broken in.

ps. I used to refer to the Swift as The Violator, but that name seems entirely ridiculous now that I've been riding on an SLR regularly on my 'cross bike for the past 4 months or so. Now I've started using the Brooks on that bike since the seat post diameter is the same as on my roadbike. Easy to swap back and forth.

pps. damn it's cold out there!
