My demo saddle was installed this afternoon, and I took my beloved LHT immediately for test ride. Only had 22 miles planned today (34 miles tomorrow morning), but it was interesting.

First of all it was not discomfort free - and my fitter had warned me that there would likely be sit-bone discomfort, and perhaps other kinds as this is a very different kind of saddle. He was right.... and while a little of the discomfort was up front - it wasn't from my girly bits, but more to the sides. I suspect some lubrication will take care of that, and it wasn't all that bad.

I have 2-3 weeks in which to test the saddle before I have to decide one way or another. If the weather doesn't interfere with my brevet training schedule, in three weeks my mileage will have increased to about 50 miles - and all of this should be a great test of this beautiful saddle.

I really want this saddle to work, but time will tell.

Anyone interested in a gently used Brooks-17S
