heh.. well I decided to throw caution to the wind when my seatpost didn't come today, and put the brooks on my trek... I didn't adjust anything, just eyeballed it. Oh my.. jeans and all, and it was great even though all I did was a short 2.5 mile test.. but it was as much of the "aha" moment that my SMP had originally been after all of the other much too narrow saddles I tried (you know, the ones crushing my lady bits since my bones were quite literally "over" the sides). I can "feel" how close my sitbones are to the edge on the brooks too.. I would say I have maybe 1/2"-3/4" on each side of the saddle to use as wiggle room. I might get to get in a longer ride later to really see how it feels.

I think I'm really gonna like it.. maybe I need to buy another for my trek. I like the way the SMP fits my pelvis, but the brooks feels more supportive since it's not squishy (and bummer that the less padded SMP saddles are all so much narrower) and being more t-shaped I don't get the rub in the leg/butt crease either
