OK...I'm pretty convinced of the Brooks. I like the Finesse saddle, and I think the British Racing Green color would look SWEET on my red Volpe...like Christmas!! But with the $170 pricetag, I might end up going with the B-17 Standard. At $65 it's more up my ally price wise. I'll have to think about it, and see if I can swing the Finesse. I'm certain if I get the Finesse I will have to pass on the new pedals (which would mean new shoes). Too bad I'm not rich. Oh well, I guess it wouldn't be fair to be rich AND pretty.
