Help choosing a Brooks

[RoseC]

Got the B17 Champion Special Ti. Gorgeous!! I'm going to be SO ANTSY for the mail over the next week.

You'n me both! I have to wait until next Wednesday for my B-68.

Would love to see pictures once it comes in! And be prepared for a bit of slippin' and slidin' at first...

well you'll get yours a day before me! i'll definitely take pics. not sure it'll look all that great on my lemond, but eh, the saddle itself will be most excellent.

Two tips for getting rid of the slippin' sooner:
Keep putting on that ProofHide they sell for Brooks saddles- rub it on like 2-3 times a week for 2 weeks, then once a month or so.
Do not wear brand new shorts with your brand new Brooks! The combo is Uber-Slippery! Use shorts you've been wearing a while.

Thanks for the Slip Tips! I'll be sure to wear my oldest of shorts. Maybe I'll slap on some anti-skid tape they sell for floor rugs.

Or just paint some rubber cement on your shorts!
