Hmmm, Brooks B72 or B68?

[farrellcollie]

I have both a B67 and a B68 - so not the cool B72, but one sprung and unsprung. I like the springs - I have it on my folding bike which has a bit of a harsh ride and the springs really helped. The saddle is not bouncy when I ride - but the springs seem to help absorb some the the road roughness (can't think of a good way to describe it). I have not (that I notice) had a problem with noisy springs and the weight on either the folder or hybrid is a nonissue for me because both of those bikes already weigh a ton. The only reason I don't have two is because the hybrid bike has a springy seatpost instead. I also use a B17 on my road bike-
I did not like the wider seat on that bike. I encourage you to get the B72 - very interesting to look at.
