My new Brooks has arrived

[Catrin]

After reading all the positive comments on this forum, I finally ordered a Brooks B17 Standard. My initial idea was to install it on my future touring bike. Right now I put it on my road bike and I will go for a 1st test ride this afternoon. I don't know yet how it will feel, but one thing is certain: it looks beautiful :-)

What a beautiful saddle - and bike! May you and your Brooks have many happy miles - and glad to hear you got the regular B-17 rather than the "s" version.

thanks :-)
just coming back from my 1st test ride, and I really like that new saddle. I really appreciate the firm, no-padding feel of it. I think I will stick with Brooks from now on.

Congratulations on your new saddle. The Brooks experience is a very unique relationship. The presentation alone makes you feel like you're worth a million dollars. I think a gorgeous leather saddle ranks as high as a nice leather purse.

from the first photo, the nose looks like it's pointing down too far.. good luck with your new brooks.
