Any Brooks experts?

Comfortable main points of contact with the bike are essential.

I can't quite tell if write up is legit or from Viz

It was from the Sunday Sport, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Better than the Daily Mail though, albeit at the risk of damning with faint praise

At the risk of sounding like a smart-arse the most comfortable is the one that suits your own arse. Thus, for me the B17 and Team Pro are just about perfect, with the Pro having the edge, and whilst I had a a Swift it took a long time before I broke it in / got used to it, but it was still not as good as the team pro (for me). However someone else might find the Swift perfect for them. For what it's worth the B17 and Team Pro were comfy from day one, so I'm not personally a believer in the 10,000 miles to break them in malarkey never mind adding various concoctions to break them in quicker.

I'm surprised there seems to be no guidance on sit-bone width versus saddle choice. Nothing I can find on the Brooks site anyway.

Does anyone have any insight?
