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.

How nice! I'm wanting to get a Brooks. They are so classic. But I get overwhelmed when I go to buy one with all the different types and end up not buying one.

You and me both! And then I start thinking about my sit bones' center and outside measurements and that metal cantle and I get even more confuzzled.

Never fear, my dears!
The Gurus of Brooks (aka "Brooks Cult") are here!
Give us your measurements, and I bet within a day you will have half a dozen saddle suggestions! (and with the 6 months free trial/full refund deal from Bill at www.wallbike.com , you can't go wrong even if WE'RE wrong!)
(but of course, we're *never* wrong....
)
