Hey, you posted those photos on another forum yesterday, didn't you? I was showing them to my husband to convince him that a Brooks would not look stupid on his carbon fiber bike, because it looks so pretty on yours! But then he sat on the Team Pro I was trying to give him, and he said something to the effect of, "Hey, this Kool-Aid tastes funny," and he is not putting a Brooks on a road bike any time soon. Heh.
In happier news, I adjusted the Team Pro on my bike yesterday, getting it more cleanly level, and then rode for an hour on the trainer. It is a very hard saddle but when it's level I am not riding the rivets, so to speak. I had no pain at all, and I wasn't wearing bike shorts. No pain this morning, either. Can't say that for my Butterfly after an hour on the trainer.
I'm going to try it on the road this weekend. If it doesn't work out I will give up then while I can still sell it on eBay as a nearly-new saddle, because then I can use the money to buy a women's version. Is honey going to look dumb on Celeste? I saw a picture of one over on bikeforums.net and I thought it looked great, but my husband thinks it is going to look dumb on a black seat post. He may be right.
My next Brooks is going to be this one, though, because I just bought a new/old beater mixte for a second around-town bike. I need springs for pot holes but I will have a less upright position on the new bike than I do on my grocery-getter.
