Yea, never ever EVER compromise on your saddle and go with something that "looks" good over what works, whatever works works ! I ride these big heavy Selle Royal Lookin moderate saddles made with what they call "Royal Gel" that is the best saddle stuff ever, for me. It's beyond explanation..

Hehe, the brand new Brooks B17 currently on my brand new and hardly ridden Brompton is currently trying to break me every time I ride it. It came with the wide Brompton saddle, maybe I should go with that! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

The Vars eventually molds a bit to your sit bones, but I forgot to keep track of how long it took. I found running Compass/ Rene Herse extralight tires made the break-in much more comfortable. Someone somewhere also mention he loosened the tension bolt 2 turns when breaking in his Berthoud sa
