<p>Brooks saddles are so durable. My Dawes has one and it was 10+ years old when I got it in college a few years ago. The Bleriot has one, too. So did the Ciocc, but Barry said he just couldn't get used to it, so he switched it to a Vetta. I like Brooks saddles, but it's nice to have a cushy one, too. Seat covers are a compromise. You can slip one on and ride on a softer seat. Take it off and you don't lose any pedal force with the Brooks. Why let inertia hold you back? …</p>

It looks a little outsized, but it works. </p>

<p>I saw this pic Mike, on Brooks FB page (oops, did I say FB?;) among other awesome pics. My eyes are on Brooks saddles right now. Like the one on this pic - instant classic look! </p>
<p>I'm a-waiting the review! </p>

<p>I like this, Mike. Among other dozen things bike related you posted on bike zoo. Thanks for doing this! </p>
<p>I own a Sackville trunk sack (which is Rivendell's bag line) and it looks quite fetching (-: Like their cycling philosophy and enjoy reading their articles.</p>
<p>And, I just checked out the link to Amsterdam bicycles here on Zoobird and absolutely LOVE IT! Wow, wish more peeps in Gville would hop on their pedaling partners. </p>
