Which Brooks saddle?
A writer sits all day. My bum gets awfully tired. When I go on my
bike, I want my bum soothed, or at least not further bruised. I'm thinking of getting a Brooks saddle to replace my Cheeko 90, which is getting a bit tacky. (The alternative is to recover the Cheeko 90 in honey leather of which I have plenty, though I don't know how it will stand up to weather as it is off indoor Swedish furniture we trashed so I could use the seasoned wood for my geribike experiments.) I ride an hour a day, two hours a day for longer rides, never more. Total mileage in the order of 2000m/3200km per year, creeping up slowly. Which Brooks model would be advisable for a guy who weighs 215 pounds? Should I prefer one of the models with helical springs at the back? Would one of the "aged" models give me a headstart on comfort. General advice and personal anecdotes equally welcome. I thought that I might get those Brooks edgewise leather-circle handlebar grips that Jay Bollyn mentioned last year to match the saddle. Opinion?
