Bikes: Too many to count alway changing

how much are those saddle covers? I have so many older saddle that have tears in them but I don't throw them out because I think they still have some life and could be put on the beater bikes I sell.

Bigbossman knows from fat-ass things.

Concur on the Brooks part, though. B-17 of some sort, to be precise.

I love the Alpe...

I just bought another B-17. Now half of my bikes have a Brooks -- but nothing as gorgeous as yours!

Congrats.

I've got the same question. Can you feel the contour lines? I love my Professional and my Swift, both smooth and comfy.....I'm not sure about sitting on the map.
