Review by HallergReviewed 9/24/2013by HallergCasual CyclistBoise, ID5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.No regrets, be patient.I have had a Brooks Pro saddle for about 25 years. It came on a Raleigh, moved to a Bianchi, to a tandem, and back to the Bianchi. When I first started riding on it I thought I would have to give it up because it was so hard. I read in Richards how to take it off, pour neetsfoot oil in the bottom and let it soak. It still took months to break it in. Since then it is the most comfortable saddle I have owned. (Including a Selle Italia Flite, also sold here). The fact that it is a single piece of leather and doesn't have plastic and foam beneath makes it cooler. I bought the Flite to save weight, and although a nice saddle also, I went back to the Brooks for the comfort.
