Well I don't know if brooks is THAT good but I ain't gonna say sh
t about it 'til I've tried. Got one recently from a friend (B-17 aged) and after years of light narrow racing saddles I'm looking forward to trying out something that might be more accommodating to the butt. Why not give it a shot? If it doesn't work out I pass it down the line and move on.
Plus it's got little loop dealies for a saddle bag!
