Hey guys, thought it would be interesting to show the differences in coloring between a new Brooks saddle and the same one a year later. The first pic is right out of the box Feb.28 th, 2005. I had wanted antique brown, but had to settle for the honey color which I'm glad I did. It went from a (rather homely) honey color to a rich silky brown color, kind of like a dark milk chocolate just using regular smatherings of 'proofhide'.

I took the day off today, so please dont bash me ~ I feel guilty enough as it is.

Great straight out of the box really. The saddle pretty much stays kinda hard, but it conforms to your sit bones within a few hundred miles then it gets even better.

That's really rich looking.

I recently got my first Brooks (a Swift) and I'm impressed that something that seems rock hard can be so comfortable.

Yeah, originaly I wanted the 'Swift' too, but at my weight I did'nt know if the titanium rails would pose a problem. The 'Pro' saddle I bought has cro-moly rails and put a quick end to my long distance sufferings.
