Customers like the comfort of the saddle. For example, they mention that it's more comfortable than their last generic saddle, and it feels amazing after breaking it in.

"...The saddle is well made and comfortable. It takes a while to break it in and the rider should give it a few hundred break in miles." Read more

"...The B17 is a classic. They do take a while to break in, but since we ride with padded cycling shorts, it isn't as big a deal as if you just ride..." Read more

Well made and comfortable!

Well made and comfortable!
Purchased recently after trying for 20 years to resist the urge due to the price. I finally gave up after reading the numerous glowing reports that it is the most comfortable saddle ever. I applied the Brooks Proofide under the saddle and a thin application on the top smooth surface as instructed. I then biked for 12 miles. I have read report that you don’t need the 500 miles to “break it” so it will soften and be more comfortable following the contour of the anatomy of your buttocks that’s always in contact to the saddle. I had a little discomfort from my left portion of the buttock ( ischial tuberosity)due to pressure on the saddle. I was debating on taking it off this morning and using my old saddle. However I figured to give it another try. I felt the uncomfortable pressure again as described above as soon as I mounted the bike. .To my surprise however at the 3 mile mark of my regular 10-12 mile ride, it disappeared almost completely and continued to my satisfaction till the end of the ride. ! I placed 3 stars for I am still in the process of evaluating this world famous and supposedly the “holy grail” of bike saddle as described by one cyclist. At this point in time I am beginning to like it and will continue riding on it. I am however disappointed by several reports that Brooks did not honored the 2 year warranty when the metal portion under the saddle broke! Amazon apparently didn’t want to get involve as well. So I would like to hear from Brooks if this indeed is true!
