I just put my B17 on my Pake. Tangible improvement already, although it usually takes me a few hundred miles and some raising and lowering and toing and froing to find the final sweet spot.

We'll probably have some sort of general meet-n-greet of riders to discuss bikes and shoot the shlt, take some easy laps, and then we can have a pick-up criterium afterwards.
PM me your Email address and I'll keep you updated.
Have you looked outside your window? I'm headed to CP right now.

I'm just starting to ride my Brooks, and it sure ain't broken in to my sit bones yet, but for me even the shape is comfortable, so I'm fine on hourlong rides with no breakin. I sense the beginning of a long and happy relationship.
