Richard I mean MAYBE--MAYBE-- if you were perched with one foot on a pedal and the back of the other knee on the the area with the three holes would you notice. But you wouldn't get very far like this. Or maybe I'm wrong. But if you've got enough pressure on that area to notice those tiny holes... you've done 1K mikes and no numbness? |

It's impractical for a small shop to have all on inventory, but we have ready access to all Brooks saddles in current production.

I have a B17 Champion special that has 3 large holes (vents, I suppose). I dont notice then at all. The edges are chamfered.
