Brooks Team Pro

[farrellcollie]

I have a team pro s on my roadbike - I like it. I did not want a sprung saddle on roadbike either - although I really want to try a B67. I may exchange the B17 (my least favorite of the brooks - it is on my hrybrid) for one - aslo you might want to check out the S models - the shorter saddles fit me better

My black Team Pro is breaking in nicely. I'd advice reading through the Brooks threads if you havent already as it was important to wait out the slipperiness and fit adjust the nose tilt. It is a tad small for my ample rear.

I just ordered a green Finesse - which is essentially the Team Pro S in Ti. It is due to arrive today. The cromo felt a little top heavy on my otherwise light road bike. I read and read up on the saddle differences and the Team Pro is recommended for those who like to spend a fair amount of time in the drops.

I am guessing that the difference between the B17 and TP is that the B17 is flatter while the TP protects the bits by rising up a little in the back of the seat. I've also heard that the TP might be a little thicker leather and may take a little longer to break in.

Hmmm- a friend is loaning me her Team Pro S just to try for the weekend. She didn't like it, but others told her she didn't give it a chance, so now it's going on her commuter bike.

I think the S series are too short and wide for what I like- but I can at least sit on this one and find out.
