After hearing about how hard Brooks saddles were to break in I really never considered getting one. 22 cycling years later after joining a cycling group that all swear by them, and a biometric high tech seat that was destroying gooch; decided to take a risk and buy one.

When I got it I put it on my Specialized high tech carbon fiber bike. It looked like a dichotomy of 1880's verses 2009 technologies. I read about all the quick ways to pre-condition the saddle but decided to take it for a ride before touching it. Well what I found was that I could ride at a higher height with out soreness while having more power with no difficulties what so ever. As a matter of fact I rode 45 miles on my first outing. The second day was just as good. I can't wait until it really breaks in to feel what awaits me. I wish I would have bought this (verses the 5 or 6 other high end seats that I used) ten years ago.
