I am about to do a switch of saddle. I have been riding with the Specialized Jett which came on my SWorks Ruby and has been good up to now. Suddenly my sit bones feel bruised every time I ride more than 20 miles.

I am considering a brooks leather saddle. I know there is some controversy about breaking them in and that this takes a while but I really want a saddle that fits MY buns well enough for long rides without discomfort.

I'd really appreciate feedback or comments from riders who have something to add to this discussion. I know we are all built differently so it's not easy to translate one's happy Buns to another.

We met some folks on the road last year and the woman had a very thin leather saddle that she said her partner made but I didn't get the name of the company here in Southern CA. Anyone know of one?

Thanks and happy riding!
