I'll bite.. and throw some controversy to the Brooks debate. Brooks is the most hi-tech saddles sold today.
What other saddle is made to conform to the shape of your butt? I can't figure out why some saddle manufacturer can't/doesn't produce a saddle with modern materials that function like a Brooks. Why not some heat mold-able foam? Or a custom saddle?. I used to speed skate and skate boots are all custom and head mold-able. Why not the same thing with a saddle? It's the same principle as a Brooks |

leather is for perverts
sicK BASTADZ |
just to answer your ?
It's all about comfort on a Brooks. I have yet to try a saddle as comfy as a Brooks Pro. Unfortunately a Brooks doesn't agree with all bums and it's a process of trial/errror (seeing which model fits best), tuffing it out (going through the break-in period), or just quiting all together and getting on the modern bandwagon |
i like mine, it's comfortable

i don't like the brooks in riding shorts, cause it's so slippery. but jeans or anything else, it's great.

I <3 my brooks saddle.
BTW anyone used the B17 Short? They are going for pretty cheap on the IRO website and I been thinking of picking one up so I dont have to keep swapping the saddle from my road bike to the other things I ride. http://www.irofixedgear.com/index.as...PROD&ProdID=37 |
If your saddle is pushed pretty far back on your seatpost, don't get a B17. You can't scoot them far back enough. I am a tall freak though, so to each his own.
Tomorrow I'm removing my B17 and slowly nursing the rivet shaped sores on my butt back to health. |
It's incredibly comfortable for me.
4 hours in the saddle w/out cycling shorts, and nothing goes numb or sore. Screw "trendiness" - if you can say that about your saddle... ride the hell out of it. |
love them or hate them. i love them. i always have. they look great on almost any bike. the b17 is my least favorite. the b17 narrow is better. i'm currently waiting for my brooks pro to arrive for my townie build. brooks always gets compliments from strangers. only here it seems they are hated by some...
|
BROOKS makes great things.... alot of attention to detail and very sturdy and quality stuff... cant wait to get a matching saddle bag to my saddle!
