It's the Daily Deal at Alfred E. Bike bike shop (Kalamazoo MI)

Hey, that's my saddle. At least it looked like that when it was new (from AE Bike in fact). It looks much better now with the butt bone depressions and the sweat darkening of the leather. That's a good price.

Wish I needed another Brooks at that price. I've purchased lots of stuff from AE Bike, they are great to deal with and I like their large selection.

Well, shoot, Louis! You could buy one for me! Would that help?

Yeah, great price...I paid $90 for an extra one a couple of years ago when it looked like Brooks was going to go out of business. But I have three now, so....

I was just about to, but the dog ate my credit card.*

Yeah! That's the ticket.









*And I don't even have a dog.

Brooks. Pshaw! May as well put the bucks toward a lifetime supply of Benotto tape....same comfort level. (I feel like a little boy wiggling his ears at the Pope!)

I just finished mounting a Brooks on the Trek 460...the one in the pics from yesterday...the one with the yellow Benotto tape.

God, I'm a manly man.

I guess I'd better try that Benotto tape!

Rode Brooks many years ago, thought they were fine, but switched to newer designs. Recently bought a Swift and liked it, so bought the B-17 for $50.00 for the BFSSFG IRO frame.
