Really like your bike. Have you thought about some brown leather grips to compliment the saddle?

Yes - wished I'd gone down a frame size - but it is very comfy. I don't use it half as much as you use yours. But I do like Salsa stuff - Surly is from the same stable

No not really - the Pepperjacks are pretty good. I like the fact the saddle stands out and doesn't match anything. Brooks are a luxury really - but they are bloody brilliant. Feels like you're sitting on air when they're broken in!

I've always wanted one myself. How many miles before they start to break in?

Yeah you're right, the Brooks does stand out the way you've set the bike up.

Didn't seem like long at all to be honest - I have plenty of cushioning anyway I'd highly recommend one - plus they're British made

And with the proper care should last many generations. There's a tour of the factory on YouTube, interesting stuff.
