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 like how ya think

im still finding the site and its members helpful. so im grateful for you guys none the less.

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

it lasts forever though at least haha

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...

thanks for stoppin in to say hi. i appreciate the kind welcome

i like their 90 degree seats. they only make a few different models for that seating arrangement but they are a comfortable upright seat. one thing a lot of newcomers to leather seats dont do thats vital to comfort is using a product called proofide on the saddle before it is used for the first...

my tracer 25ds. i just got a new brooks saddle for it. its my first e bike and i use it as a way to help me get around since i have bad legs now. i try to stay off the roads and just ride the old railroad grade behind my house to get out a bit. ive collected pedal bikes a long time and i just...

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

your kindness and warm welcome are very much appreciated. ill treat ya to some poutine if we ever cross paths haha

yep, that's a bike i can get into. love the look of classics like this. every bike has its place and i can see beauty in every kind, but this is what i gravitate too. I'm new to the e bike world and I'm not sure what brand or anything of rear hub mine has. i could find out but haven't had the...

it would seem you and i both are blessed with a beautiful place to ride. i like accessories. it gives the rider a chance to add what they want to the bike to make it theirs. i would like a set of bags like you have eventually. ill figure out a way to mount them and go from there. for now, i have...

I'm actually changing the seat in a couple days to a brooks b135. those are my preferred saddles on pedal bikes. so, i figure id try one on this. it is a mechanical setup for the brakes. ive been looking into what's involved in changing to hydraulic. im thinking i will change this eventually. it...

thats a tough looking bike. i like it
