I have not sanded down and dyed mine, but the rest I can attest to.
And don’t use chamois cream, it will soak into your saddle.
constantly forget to reply here.
amyways are you using b17 standard or imperial? I'll be honest besides the standard being a little bit cheaper on the site i'd be buying i'm also attracted to the funky color choices. seeing as i'm gonna be sticker bombing this frame either today or tomorrow depending on arrival date of that last sticker pack, i'd like a funky colored brooks, but afraid of discomfort due to the forward leaning position. That said i do understand this bike has a more relaxed position than most road bikes. can i ask what type of bike you have the b17 on? if it's a more aggresive riding position than mine i'll just get the standard
