Beautiful day here today. Had a very pleasant ride. For me a longer one at around 10 miles. What a difference a leather Brooks saddle makes. Today it was the B66 on my 51 Rudge. I was very lucky with this one. It is most likely, the original saddle and still in good condition. I didn't have to pay much if anything extra for it. Unfortunately, most of the old ones were replaced over the years and replacing them with a new Brooks is usually more expensive than a vintage roadster in decent shape. I have a few roadsters with modern saddles and none of them come close to the comfort level of the Brooks. I've always been a thrifty person and happy about how inexpensive my roadster hobby has been over the years. But now I'm spoiled.
