More comfortable than any other from day one. I followed Sheldon browns break-in method and with that I’m riding with much less discomfort than on the old plastic saddle. I tried many different types, sizes and shapes but none as good as the Brooks. Might not be for every one but it is right for me.
The saddle is just what I ordered and it was at my doorstep in a super short time. Great product even better service.
even as i’m in the beginning stages of breaking in this bad boy, it’s still infinitely more comfortable than any other seat i’ve used.
I had read and heard so many good things about the Brooks B-17 saddle, but was always a little skeptical. After trying to survive my old saddle and suffering with so much pain, I decided to take the plunge. WOW!!! The difference in comfort is too much to believe. My first ride was 5 miles without padded shorts…no problem. My next rides were 15, 20, 25 miles; I’ve had to stop at this point due to some surgery, but I couldn’t ride around the block, with padded shorts, before the Brooks B-17. I don’t have the words to express the comfort. It really is the most comfortable saddle, on a bike, you will ever ride.
If you’re tired of the discomfort from your bike saddle, make the change and buy your Brooks saddle through Amazon. Amazon had the best prices and I couldn’t believe the turnaround time, delivery, on the saddle…within 7-days.
Yes its very comfortable. Its on the heavy side if your a racer. The rails are a bit short so there limited adjustment fore and aft. but it works for me.
I need a new saddle bag since the rails are too wide in the rear bit. but they have the nifty British bag hanging tabs.
I used some shaving cream to tender it up for my first few rides.
