Ok I am back. I just rode my 1992 Trek 700 with the stock saddle on it, then I got on my 1999 trek Y3 with the stock saddle on it and did the exact same route. Then I got on my 1996 Trek 730 with the Brooks B17 Pro in British Racing Green and made a third identical run. The Brooks is amazing! it is the only saddle that I didn't feel under me. I am amazed. I will try to post pics later of how it is wearing in after just a couple of months. Anyone thinking about getting a Brooks Saddle should do it.
