how much you want for it posted? if £20 or less i'll have it now, if more than £20 i'll probably still have it but once i've got a few more of the other bits, so hang on to it for now.
20 posted would be fine with me. If you want I can hold onto it as it is just sitting in the back of the shed if you don't want it now. I did notice that you had sold the toupe's and gone down the brooks route
no probs... sorry to mess you about.
I think brooks are insanely comfy, complete the opposite of what you do - must have a completely different shaped arse, but it just wouldn't be right to put a saddle on a bike where it weight almost half as much as the frame! so i've put a toupe 155 on it, which i think will be probably a bit comfier than the 143.
Why do you think the brooks isn't comfy just out of interest - too much pressure in the middle, chafing at the sides, too much pressure on the sit bones?

I used to find it was ok for rides up to 20 miles but almost like a switch from 21 miles onwards the pain on the sit bones was unbearable. I may have been better with a standard B17 rather than the B17N but I am so pleased with my toupe I doubt I will ever cross my arse with a brooks again
