So far so good
Havent ridden famous break in distance of 500 miles (?) yet, but so far so good. Mine is different from this model only in that I went for the honey coloured one. Be careful you dont buy the model marked "S", for short, thats the ladies version - unless you are a lady. You will also need to by the Brooks dubbin that softens the leather. I would also strongly suggest buying the saddle cover at the same time - useful for keeping dust off when storing, the rain off when parked in the wet, and for avoiding scuffing when turning the bike upside down (I think it would badly scuff quickly without it).

The only slight problem I noticed so far is that, being all shiney at first I suppose, you are less fixed on the seat and so at the moment it is a little more sore from rubbing than the seat the bike came with. But what I also noticed was that the springs do a great job at absorbing all those horrible jars from pothole - no longer do I yelp and have to hold myself out of te saddle...


Mixed view and some creaking - try before you buy.
I need a saddle for an upcoming 1200 mile ride and so I thought I would try the legendary Brooks leather saddle experience for myself. After web based research I chose this model - the B67.

Things to note : Firstly - its heavy - 850g. Secondly its very wide - 203mm. Both of these are in the spec sheet so are not a surprise but IMO I should have bought the unsprung B17 version - lighter and narrower.

My mistake was that I went for the significantly more 'upright' posture saddle because on my bike (Specialized Tricross Comp) the bars are higher than the saddle. Given that - and the guards/rack/bar bag I'm using for the tour - I erred on the cruisier side for the saddle.

For me though the width is too much - it tends to push me forwards as I pedal, onto the nose of the saddle. I can reduce that effect by tilting the saddle up but that introduces some 'local' pressure(!) that I'd prefer to avoid.

I only have about 150 miles on the saddle so far...
