Sirrus and Brooks?
I have been lurking for some time and have read lots of threads and posts, including doing many searches.
I have a new Sirrus that I have been riding for a few months. I am not really thrilled with the stock (Riva) saddle. It is fine for shorter periods, but generally once I riding an hour or so, my butt is killing me. I end up with pain in the area of the sit bones.
I am interested in hearing from anyone using a Brooks saddle on a Sirrus. I have a couple of specific questions. Which Brooks model works for you? Have you had any issues with the set back or fit? If so, what have you done to make it work for you? Any other thoughts on saddle choices on this bike would be appreciated.

The '88:

I'd also '86 the suspension seat post if your Sirrus came with one and replace it with a rigid one.
