Thanks.

Thanks for that Stewie. I bought it.

But what if your bottom isn't the same shape as his?

I've got a Brooks Pro which my next door neighbour - who had "done a little cycling" - gave me in 1958. It's on my fixed bike and another 50 years sporadic use have made no impression on it at all. It's definitely going to outlive me.

Just took a chance. Tried it this afternoon.
Very comfortable running errands around town.
Will have to wait for my day off to give it a longer run.

I think Brooks Pro is a very comfortable saddle. Got two of them

So do I. Much more comfortable than the daft Litespeed effort I tried for my February 100. But not as comfortable as the Swift I usually ride, because my 70 year old Pro is made from much thicker leather.

Did 85km on it on Friday. Very comfortable (thank goodness).
