Brooks Saddles

**blackhillsbiker** · 05-19-2011, 09:13 PM

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.

I second this motion.

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.

Congratulations! Happy riding.

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

This is just a generic picture. I'll replace it with one of the bike and saddle later.

Deb, great bike! I can't wait to see yours with your Brooks on it.

**blackhillsbiker** · 05-23-2011, 12:23 PM

Reason I love TE:

This was the response I received on another Brooks Saddles messageboard:

"The B 67 is a B66 made with a singlewire chassis. It´s a bit wide for looks on a sporty bike."

Nobody here would ever recommend a Brooks that "looked" more appropriate over one that fits the best.

Deb, your bike begs for a Brooks, no doubt about it

What a pretty color combo~creme and root beer, like an A&W root beer float.

The same could be said about my chassis, but ask me if I care.

Glad I found this site, but too many pages to read through. Sorry if my question has already been answered.

I ordered a B67 for a Surly Cross Check 42". Every worker at bike shops kept telling me it'd take weeks/months to break it in. My 2000 mile trip starts in a week and I don't know if I should cxl my Brooks order and just buy a Terry Liberator or not. Also, what is equivalent to the Liberatoor with no cut-out? Thanks.
