There is a thread in here with 45% discont on brooks website so I thought I would buy some stuff.

and

and

Just need to get a polished seat post and handlebars for my genesis and I will be looking all sexy. Just hope I enjoy brooks saddles.

glad it worked for you, it wasn't until after i posted it, that i realized it was out of date.

I tried a new Brooks Swift, ended up on Ebay, but had a few B17s and now thats all I will use

I've got a couple of B17 narrows on my bikes. Been comfy more or less from the start. Those Spa leather saddles look clumsy and ugly to me!!

I have persisted with the Spa saddle, mostly on relatively short rides as I couldn't stand it to begin with for any more than about 15 miles. Now around 400 miles on it and starting to take shape and be comfortable but a Brooks is worth the extra imo.

Brooks Team Pro had for about a month/300 miles not sure if I'm breaking it in or it's breaking me in!

I have to tell you that the Team Pro is the hardest to brake in of all the Brooks saddles but it's well worthy. I think I did about 1000 miles before it was very comfortable. When you ride something else and then come back to a brooks then you appreciate the saddle and the breaking in period seems far away in the past

I have four Brooks saddles, including a Pro, in my experience and from what I've been told, the Pro will never soften. Mine came fitted to my Raleigh Randonneur and has been ridden for thousands of miles and has not altered in any way.
