Tuesday the FedEx guy dropped off a Brooks Team Professional. I never thought I'd order one but did so based on all the talk around here and the net. Took it out of the box and gasped, it looked huge; I almost put it back in the box. I decided if I liked it the Dremel tool could knock off the bottom inch or so of the skirt and it would look better. Tried it and couldn't believe it. After a few miles I thought the pain would would begin because it's still hard as a rock. I felt NOTHING. Kept ridding, still felt nothing! Took it home and put the Dremel tool to it and used sand paper to finish off the cut; actually it looks rather sharp. Got the honey colored one, the cutting exposed the copper rails from a side view, looks cool. It's perched on a silver seat post and last year's yellow tires are back on and changed the bar tape to yellow with brown specks, the frame is bare titanium. Now she has a unique look, It's hard believe what a difference a saddle can make for a bike and it's ride. I need to get a picture. Flicked work today to go ride, anyone else ever do that?
