I have tried a great number of saddles over the years and have always craved a British Brooks made saddle (which would appear to be made in Thailand!) So set it up on my kinesis bike today and took for a little 25 mile spin...lovely I think I'm going to enjoy the comfort of this saddle and may well prob end up adding to my other bike...

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
If you have enjoyed it so far, the chances are that it will only get better and better as you break it in. Glad you like it.

I had the same experience with a standard C15. Initial impressions were very positive. However two lumpy 100 klick Audax rides and I put my C17 back on the bike.

These cambiums do not appear to break in. (I have 3 that I use regularly now). Rather your body does.

So they are not like the leather ones then? THEY do get better. I don't even think about getting a sore a**e anymore, thank god.

I've just ordered a C17, tried Cycle Heaven in York & they wouldn't even let me try it out on a bike before buying :sad:, so after reading many online reviews I've opted for a C17, used some tesco clubcard vouchers & got Evans to price match cheapest I could find, so hopefully a bargain comfy saddle :blush:
