I've been using them for 12 years. I'm currently using a Flyer and really appreciate the extra cushioning of a sprung saddle.

I've ridden Brooks saddles for going onto 3 years so far, and I'm sold on them. I found that the standard B17 works just fine, and is rideable right away with hardly any break-in. I've tried the more expensive Brooks and found that they were too much trouble to get accustomed to. Maybe the leather is too firm. The 3 or 4 used Brooks saddles I picked up on Ebay were all hard as rocks. Thanks for taking the time to write this review.
