I just want to thank everyone for helping me justify this purchase!:D I have to get used to upright riding, but on the way to school this morning, my messenger bag stayed in place without an extra strap. Also, I've always wondered why anyone would want the extra weight of springs on the Brooks B66. This bike came equipped with a Wrights Olympic 76 which is just like the B66. I tell you, I had a lot of trouble with being so upright on my mixte, and this saddle seems to be the key for me. Verrrrrry comfortable. Now I have to find some tweed rides....
