I have had constant issues with saddles, to the point where I gave a recumbent bike a go. The recumbent bike bothered my lower back and knees, so I bought a mountain bike. I suffered through various different saddles and finally found a Brooks saddle for $75. I put it on the bike and now understand the hype. Some of the time items are hyped up for no reason, not the case with this. It felt great from day one, but is actually getting better the more I ride it. I bought it two months ago and I now have well over 700kms on it.

I just got the standard brown B17. I smear some wax on it once and a while to keep it looking nice and carry a bag to fit over it if things get wet.
