Ok I am back. I just rode my 1992 Trek 700 with the stock saddle on it, then I got on my 1999 trek Y3 with the stock saddle on it and did the exact same route. Then I got on my 1996 Trek 730 with the Brooks B17 Pro in British Racing Green and made a third identical run. The Brooks is amazing! it is the only saddle that I didn't feel under me. I am amazed. I will try to post pics later of how it is wearing in after just a couple of months. Anyone thinking about getting a Brooks Saddle should do it.

Every Brooks saddle I've bought was at least fairly comfortable right out of the box, and all of them got more comfortable with a month or two of riding. Unfortunately I do not have a naked wife prancing around the house.

I just rode on mine for the 1st time today, I am talking about the saddle now. It was super comfortable although a little slippery. It seems there is another thread going on about how you don't really have to wear padded shorts with a brooks, we shall see.
