Brooks Saddle
I'm thinking of getting a brooks saddle for my Univega, however I don't know which one to get. Right now I have one on there that looks like a B15 or a Swift. I've only started riding though, should I go to my LBS and get fitted so that I know what to get? It's only 30 bucks.

I would suggest the Brooks Swift. The Swift gives more support for the whole butt, not up the crouch as most saddles(leather or other materials) and is comfortable on long rides. Remember the saddle breaks in, butt does more.

I'm very fond of the Brooks Professional. A tiny bit wider than the Swift, a little narrower than the B17, and made with good, tough leather that will last forever. Ok, not forever, but a long time!
