My b135 by brooks. All of brooks 90 degree seats are great for long rides. The tension of the leather is an adjustment not readily available on other seats. Yet it's very important to be able to "sag" a seat to cradle more than to perch atop of. The springs do the rest. I'm a 250 pound guy and...

i cant find mention of this brand on the site. no reviews or anything else.. i cant be the only one on here? show me what ya got. i think its a great bike

I can't really explain it. I just really like when a brooks seat has shaped to the rider. It's a custom fit and feel that I've only experienced with brooks.padding is the often times overdone in my opinion..so what makes a seat comfortable? I see a stretched leather saddle like a brooks as a...

Flush Copper rivets..nice

i apologize in advance if you are aware of this. however, make sure you use a product made by brooks called proofide before you use the saddle.. its a conditioner and softener that really helps with the break in period. rub it on the top and underside and rim of seat, let it sit for a few hours...

thank you very much. you guys have been really good to me already

i appreciate the info and your thoughts on this. i think the mechanical are fine as well. they stop the bike like they should and the adjustments are easy if ever necessary. i just always look for tinker things to do on my bikes to keep me involved. hydraulic brakes arent needed but i may look...

Yeah, that's a cool bike. Ice cold in fact. The plank tank sounds like it would be a fun project with neat results. Hopefully you can show pictures if you decide to build one.

thats a shame as well as a good thing in one statement. i dont think people who bike often sit down to heaps of food but i never met a poutine i didnt eat haha
