Picked up a Brooks!
Found a hardly used Brooks B-17 Special Women's saddle on CL. My wife like her current one so I thought it would be a good idea to have a second one for the tandem. That way I can set it up and not have to keep swapping them back and forth.
So for $60 I am quite please!

Hehehe. I thought from your thread title you were going to post:
But I put it down again. How can you guys ride with a brick like that?!
I've made it an art form to browse eBay looking for used Brooks from riders who just can't come to terms with them. Like you, I picked up one recently here in Australia, a women's B17, packaged in with a pair of Shimano A530 pedals for my MTB for $100 including postage.

If you don't tell anyone it is a woman's saddle, I suspect nobody would know you are riding on something other than a manly saddle.
Three of my Brooks were used but nearly new when I bought them.
