Brooks Saddles

[xeney]

I didn't buy it from Bill, I bought it from my neighbor for $40. I wanted a B17, and that is how he'd advertised it on Craigslist, but it is brand new so it was too good a deal to pass up. My sit bones are only 4.5 inches apart ... about 115 mm, I think? So wider saddles on a road bike make my butt hurt. That was why I thought maybe I just didn't have this one set right on the seat post, especially since I also had some knee pain on the first try.

I thought my husband might like the Team Pro if I didn't, but he thinks it would look stupid on his carbon fiber road bike, and he doesn't want to put it on his commuter because he's afraid it would get stolen. I will probably Craigslist it if it doesn't work out. Poor unloved Team Pro ... it is the most beautiful saddle I have ever seen.

Does it have copper rails?

So, I am doing really well with my Finesse. I started today with her level according to the carpenters level, but after ~10 miles the pressure on my soft tissues was bothering me so I decided to tip it down the slightest it could be moved on my seatpost. Instant relief. I could also instantly feel that my sitbones are now carrying my weight, wheras before it was a bit of both sitbone and soft tissue. I am not sliding forward either, like when I tried to tip it down a lot. By the end of the ride I wasn't even thinking about the saddle. I'm still not in the 'gliding on air can't feel a thing' place.
