Re: cycling john o'groats to lands end

A Brooks saddle is the only saddle that will contour to the shape of you rear end.

As they are made of leather the leather becomes more supple and the saddle takes up the shape giving support with no pressure peaks, as the saddle moulds itself to suit the rider. Look at how many old boys and big tourers ride Brooks. Have a look at the guys that are putting in miles every weekend on bikes costing 1000's and ask them what their favourite piece of kit is - Brooks riders will mostly say their saddle.

I have ridden just about every saddle available and my winter set up, as shown, sees me on a Fizik Aliante Carbon (£149). I like this saddle in the winter but for long rides my Brooks beats it hands down.

I also ride Fizik's Arione (£99) on a racing set up and the Gobi (£79) on my full suspension.
