Took the Brooks out for a ride last night and it just plain doesn't fit. The front/nose of the saddle is too flat. I compared it to my current saddle and noticed the Brooks nose doesn't slope down which is a function of its design. In short, the saddle was nosing around my genetalia. On the bright side, it's been a while since my genetalia's been nosed. I digress.
So the saddle is for sale on ebay right now. There's a slim chance I may profit from the sale as I found a place in England that had a killer about $100 lower than anywhere in the U.S. Assuming there's at least one idiot bidding who doesn't know how to use froogle to search for best price, I will at least break even.
I only got 10 miles in last night due to my saddled mind. I'm not sure I could have done much more as my legs were still roasted from the difficult weekend riding. I'm taking off tonight and will do a longer ride tomorrow night (25-30 miles), but with a nice easy pace. Saturday is the big graduation ride of 100 miles culiminating in the climb of Bear Mountain.
