Leather Re-breakin?
Picked a Vintage bike with an old Wrights W3n on it.
Now, my broken in Brooks Conquest rides comfortable after 2000 or so miles, I've cared for it since new.
This 20+ year old saddle after multiple proofhide apps, and 1500 miles shows no signs of re-forming to my anatomy, anyone have some exp getting the older saddles to re-conform to a diff. set of seat bones?
I have no idea how this seat was treated in the past, when I started, it was very hard, It's better with proofhide apps, but still gets very uncomfortable after 20 miles.
Thanks for looking,
Hans
