Yes, great news indeed!
My sit bones were incredibly sore the first couple of weeks riding my Brooks....but after that it became the most comfortable saddle in the world for me. Expect to feel sore again a little in the Spring briefly, after a winter off the bike...until you get a week of riding in.
So glad you are liking the saddle!![]()

So far still haven't hit "saddle nirvana" but I haven't been in agony, either. The rides start out a little uncomfortable, but get better as I go. I can see slight depressions in the saddle where my sit bones are. The saddle is no longer slippery. My bike geometry is very upright, so no real issues with soft tissue. I don't like this saddle without cycling shorts as well as some of the padded saddles I was using, but that is a small price to pay for something that I hope will work well for a LONG time. I was initially skeptical about the S instead of the "men's" saddle, but since I am upright, I don't really need the extra rail length. The sale price was enough to justify trying the S. Now I want a t-shirt that says something to the effect of "Brooks saddles, I EARNED these divots."
Saddle Nirvana has been reached.I'm spoiled for any other saddle for life.
