One word of advice about Brooks on a road bike-

I tried it, and I actually liked looking a little "unconventional." However, I've got about a 10cm drop from saddle to handlebars, and I couldn't tolerate the amount of soft-tissue pressure the Brooks gave me (riding in the drops was almost unbearable).
Now, the Brooks (B17 champion- has copper rails/larger rivets, not titanium) is on my commuter, which is upright compared to my road bike, and is MUCH more comfortable.
