    It's amazing how comfie the Brooks saddle is--even on a mtb. Say goodbye to those hot spots and sores from inferior saddles.

    I'd just spend a lot of money looking for the comfort I already have with my Brooks. We did a long ride, and the only thing that was complaining was my bum. Yoga is making my back and arms much stronger and more flexible. I felt like I could have ridden all day if my poor nether regions weren't complaining so loudly!

    I get funny looks from my lbs when I bring in my mtb with a Brooks. But you know, as you get older you care less what others think and you slap a good ol' classic saddle on that weighs a pound and you finish strong and in less pain than the naysayers.

    Have you seen the Brooks Select organic saddles?

    This is kind of funny about you MTB riders feeling out of place when you have a Brooks.
    When I first started with my Brooks, people told me it wasn't appropriate for road bikes!!

    It's appropriate for my butt and that's all that matters.

    Brooks should adopt this as their new company slogan.

    Got a new brown B-67 today. It goes nicely with the root-beer brown color of the bike. Since my sitbones are already tough, it didn't feel much different from my "broken in" one. I can't wait for a summer of pain-free riding.

    Congratulations! Happy riding.

    Root beer...that must be one of those Jaimison root beer bikes?

    I think the reason mtb'ers are reluctant to use a Brooks is because of 1) cost, 2) it's too purty to get muddy 3) the nose is hard as heck.
