I had a brooks b17 (I think) it was a women's model and I rode it for a year and I never liked it. My dbf bought me a swift for Christmas... instant perfection - maybe you just have to find the perfect brooks. Every time I get on my bike now I think how much I love this saddle and I am never ever selling it!

It doesn't really hurt. I did tweak the angle (thank god I have a micro-adjust seatpost on the 520, my Jamis doesn't
) My first clue I'd have to tweak the angle? I rode on a local trail - came to a stop and slid all the way forward of the seat - right off of it - standing over my top tube. It was kind of funny.
I look forward to warmer weather and breakin' this bad-boy in. If I want a B-17 on my Jamis I'm probably gonna have to fork over for a new seatpost too...*grumble*...they put a micro-adjust stock on some cheaper Jamis 09' models like the Satellite, but not the Aurora. I wish I knew why. Thanks for the input so far. Anyone else have input on how long it takes you to adapt/break-in?"Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping bag with a cold beer tucked inside." ~Jim Malusa
