Here's the Brooks B-18 Lady I had on my Peugeot Mixte (the bike has since been sold) and my B-68 on my current Orbea road bike. Great saddles!

I've just put a Brooks B67s onto my mixte (Dawes Cambridge). I love it. But it's shiny and new and yet to shape itself to my backside (and is slightly misaligned, according to one photo). Please show me your Brooks saddles on your bikes - old, new, loved.... I'd love to see what the future holds for my baby Brooks. Thank you!

Here's ole trusty.
Reusing pix I used to advise on panniers so apologies for the focus being on the bag in the 2nd pic. However, it is a closeup of the saddle and how it's now shaped to my derriere.
Funny thing is is that in my search for racier saddles, I thought I was a T shape until one day I looked at, I mean, *really* looked at my Brooks and noted where and how my sit bones had indented my saddle. Duh.. I realized I'm not really that T shaped.
As mentioned elsewhere, my Brooks 17 and my Riv is still my comfiest saddle + bike combo. Not the fastest or, depending on who you ask, the sexiest but it's a work horse that isn't afraid of most terrain and conditions I throw at. Hmm.. maybe I should post this in the "one bike to do it all" thread...
Anyway, hope you find this useful.

Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Thank you! I love these pictures.
Brooks seem so very characterful and timeless. I leapt on my Dawes in a rush the other morning, did my errand, got home and cursed myself for forgetting to see how the saddle was shaping up. Truth was, I just didn't notice it, which probably says all I needed to know.
