Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.
I foresee a lot more saddles being needed. I took too much leather just off the side of one brooks and rode it in rain and ended up having to over tension it. Eventually, it was just mush, and you could turn the front nose of the saddle really easily. Seems like the amount of the leather that's gone will do bad things for the structural integrity...

Things I can not understand people saying:
"Break in period"
"Not in the rain"
"stains regular shorts"
"must moisturize" (poof hide)
"body will adapt"
"needs to air out from excess sweat"
and then saying they are the best most comfortable saddle around. I like the way they look, and the old school concept. However, having rode one for a month strait: I can not understand the way people love them.
