Review: Firm but comfortable from day one - I was expecting to spend a while breaking this saddle in, but found it very comfortable from the start. It may have helped that I'm used to firm saddles (my other saddle is a Specialized Romin). After 100 miles I reached a new level of comfort as it started to mould to my body. Two dimples started to form around my sit bones, and I found myself naturally settling into a comfortable position on every ride. I felt well supported at the rear, and crucially this kept pressure off the softer tissues that would otherwise be resting on the front of the saddle. During a recent tour I cycled 30-40 miles each day for two weeks; at the end of each day my legs and arms were tired but I didn't feel sore on the saddle. It is also comfortable on my 5 mile daily commute. Some disadvantages: Bear in mind it's best not to keep a leather saddle outdoors in the rain (you could always cover it with a plastic bag I suppose), and unfortunately I've heard about someone's Brooks being stolen off their bike when they locked it to a railing in London. Also you should need to spend ten minutes every few weeks rubbing it with proofide, and there are lighter saddles out there if you are anxious to shave every possible gramme of weight from your bike. Overall this is a very good saddle and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Finally if you buy one, please read Sheldon Brown's article about leather saddles [...] and don't play around with the tension adjustment screw. Also I'd think twice about following advice from the reviewer below who tenderised his saddle with a hammer!
Review: Great quality and great value - There's no guarantee that this (or any) saddle will be comfortable you - we're all different shapes and you'd have to try it - but in terms of quality it is exceptionally well constructed. Its heavy so not one for those looking to build a lightweight bike, but for everyone else its hard to fault the construction, this feels like it will last forever. It also comes beautifully boxed and wrapped. It suits someone who rides in a relatively upright riding position - if your pelvis is rotated forwards (aggressive riding position) then it is noticeably less comfortable. I found that getting fit was important, since the leather is relatively slippy and doesn't grip your shorts in position as synethic saddle materials do

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy and comfortable
*by P***R on 28 July 2023*

The price goes up over time but the quality is still there. I bought my first saddle 30 years ago. It took some breaking in! I'm not sure if it was me or the saddle that broke in but once we achieved harmony it was always comfortable. Unfortunately the rail broke and I had to buy a new one. This was just as comfortable straight from the off. I can't see why I won't get another 30 years of use out of it.
