I've been riding with my Brooks for almost a month now. I cleaned and treated it with Lexol soap and then their leather treatment. It cleaned up nice and is really starting to get comfy. I had a friend from the LBS say it was really hard. So I'm not sure if its harder then normal, though I like where it's at. I haven't done any long rides on it though. But I'm gonna do a 250 mile tour in a few weeks and that'll get some miles on it

Thanks for all the help everyone.
