    so anyone know how long it actually takes to break in a Brooks saddle????

    I think it'll be great if and when it breaks in...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    It helps if you buy their Pruf-hide product and apply it (to the saddle, NOT to your butt!) every other ride or so, about 6-8 times.
    Aside from that, it's normal for your sit bones to be sore for the first week or so (at least it was for me.)
