I just experienced Wallbike's great service for the first time. I ordered a couple of Carradice roll bags (to use as handlebar bags) and they got here in 48 hours! I'm agog. Plus I love the bags.

So I'm really tempted to order the Brooks. Last night every time I woke up, I was thinking about it -- fretting about it, actually. I guess I kept wondering if it would hurt more, how long it would take to break in, etc.

I know, I know. We have a big long thread on that issue, and I read it but don't remember much so need to go read it again!

Thanks for the advice on measuring the seat, etc. I think I'd like the longer one. For one thing, I have long legs and long thighs. Um, not sure if that makes a difference, but it seems like it might?
