I love my brooks. Instant comfort and amazingly "absent" on long rides. Do some research in the equipment forum, but i just researched this again when i ordered my second Brooks. Don't order the women's. The brooks are famous for having short seat rails and the woman's is shorter and wider--making it even more difficult to adjust (and not necessary, by the way). I noticed they changed their website to say "S" for short, instead of women's--although they still have a woman's link.
PS, my DH hangs out on "another" bike forum. Someone posted that they weren't happy with their new Brooks. Another poster dared him to post that on the touring forum! They definitely have their following, but like all saddles, they're not for everyone.
