Mine was comfortable enough right out of the box and then 800ish miles later, it wasn't. I tried tightening it, readjusting, damn near everything and yet nothing would keep me from whacking myself on the hard front and rear when I moved or bounced about while riding. I also could just *feel* the 3 holes in the top through my shorts (princess and the pea moment) and started to get seriously cranky after 100 miles.

I'm back to riding a Selle Italia flite for everything from around-town to brevets. It's simple, hard, and has no cut-outs so I'm happy. BF also really tried to like his Brooks but gave up after a 115 mile ride put a complete stop on our cuddling for almost a month. His broke in to have a sharp ridge in the middle, which probably didn't help things.
