Brooks B17

Historically, I’ve always ridden on high-tech, gel-filled, cut-out, super light saddles. Saddles that promise much, but often deliver little but discomfort.

I’ve most often taken the trial and error approach, to the point where I currently have about four or five redundant saddles in my shed.
