I like brooks saddles, but sadly in some cases I don’t feel like they go with the bike. I like the set up a lot, the bike looks great, the saddle just looks a bit out of character sadly.
My bike is Matilda. I also posted a revised version of the bike. Have fun with whatever retarded 7th grade insults you want to throw at it. Just know that all you’re going to do is prove to everyone again how juvenile and stupid you are.
I wouldnt leave you guys scozzy, I just dont visit this site everyday like you and CS, and dont worry I will always have some 7th grade juvenile comment for you CS…..
I also have a few Brooks saddles. B 72 antique and a new B 17 I like the feel of the suspension leater. My Terry Liberator is not nearly as comfy. Some of the new components esp. the brakes on this bike look weird to me as a classic old time loving old dude. But if they work better mix it up with the Brooks saddle. Butts have not changed as much as brakes! my V brake on the new fork of my Raleigh Twenty stops like quick compared to the old caliper on orig. steel wheel. Thanks and keep the Brooks get a swallow design with the big copper rivets if you can handle the price.
Am I the only one not overly concerned with the seat? Get a black Brooks or just get a gel saddle, big deal. Assuming this is a Bowery, I’m surprised how well it turned out, except for the nasty stock crank (it’s short but so so chintzy). And I get that you wanted double brakes to make those bar end handles work visually but come on, they’re double brakes.

I agree, the saddle does not look good. But…one, it is comfortable, and two, it is out of sight most of the time.

True. I’m def not complaining, its more just that its sad that brook’s don’t really look that great on any modern bikes normally.

Sheesh, I thought we got rid of Newassstle.

Damn, all over my seat! I’ll change it! This is a visual thing after all, and I agree, it does look out of place.

No leave the seat. Function before fashion. It doesn’t matter if it looks out of place if it works.
October 16th, 2009 @8:15 pm
I agree leave it. I was commenting that your comment was spot on. I don’t think it looks bad.
