    I LOOOOVE the way that Brooks looks Lisa! (dumb question) --->Does anyone ever put a saddle like that on a hybrid? or are they mostly for road bikes?

    OK. That does it. I NEED one.

    I've been buying and my list continues to get longer instead of shorter.

    First, Lola the LeMond Reno with her Brooks Finesse...(the seatpost has been raised a smidge and the stem flipped since this pic was snapped.)



    And then Lana the Bianchi Boardwalk with her Brooks B17. (She'll also be getting fenders at the end of the summer.)

    OOh, I am glad you like her. This is my $100 ebay frame that fits me better than my $2000 titanium/carbon bike...... The history is I found the frame, never been built, reynolds 853 steel, on ebay (a 2003) for $100. The catch was she had no fork and you couldn't buy a fork to fit a 24" front wheel. So, I sent her to a frame builder, and he built me a fork, installed s/s couplers, canti bosses and rack mounts for touring, and did the silver paint to fade into the original blue to keep costs down. He modified the geometry slightly in the fork design to make her more stable for touring and customize the fit (she was originally more of a go fast sport bike). I can do go fast rides on her with skinny tires, or tour with fat ones. Then I took the new parts I recently bought my old rusting terry classic and transferred them to her, and retired the classic. Even though she is supposed to be my 'travel' bike she is actually my favorite bike.
