    My Brooks is broken!

    I just noticed when I put my bike away for the night that the frame on the Brooks saddleon my commuting bike is broken, and I am so bummed. I am going on a 5-day ride soon, and that saddle is completely broken in and comfortable. I'll have to figure out something else in the short run. Not sure if I want to get another Brooks if I'm going to have to replace it every year.

    The one you had the cutout put in?
    Did that compromise the structural integrity despite wha tthey added?
    Do you want your other one back?

    Never mind, i re-read and you said frame.

    Aw, that stinks. Got any pictures? So we can watch out for it, too?

    Which model was it? Some of the models require a seat sandwich if used with a micro-adjust seatpost.

    It's a B68. I'll try to take pictures today.

    Zen, I may need that saddle back for the trip, sorry. (How is it working out for you?) My only other Brooks is a double rail saddle (like the one pictured), and it won't fit on this bike.
