brooks saddles

[Mick D]

I am the proud owner of a Brooks saddle received for my b'day.
Gonna start breaking in tommorrow.
Will post a picture soon on the 91/92 kona

Well done.

Get a tin of Proofide to ease the breaking in period and protect it from the elements.
And don't forget the underside.

fantastic things!.....like being in your own bed 30 miles from home!.....

Oh, and never ride it wet.

 

[Mick D]

already proofed, twenty miles done.

Tried a couple over the past few years but it's my current B17 copper railed special that's my favourite, bought 2nd hand and well broken in, the past 500 miles has been the best experience with any saddle I have ever sat on

Mine copes with rain, mud, marshland, sea water, sand and whatever else I ride in.

Brooks saddles are the business. No doubt about it

I see you have some of those fancy Charge Splashbacks on there too... Be interesting to see how the whole bike looks with a brooks on it

I was surprised by this: An Estay with a pretty radical stem, I think it carried off a Brooks quite nicely

Of course it's more about the friend for life and all day in the saddle and still being able to walk, than aesthetics, perhaps we should say it's all about ass-thetics?

A little respect and it will treat you well, don't worry where you ride though, they are very tough!
