hey all!
im new to the whole cycling thing... the bike i ride a lot of the time (ie. whenever its not broken) is my 1970's puegeot fixed gear conversion... im only a poor high school kid so i cant afford to buy one but i have heard a lot about brooks saddles, from a few different people, including my buddy at the shop, a former olympic mechanic. im hoping to have someone by me one for my upcoming birthday... is the B17 standard saddle a good one? im looking for one thats fairly cheap and i found a B17 for about $65... does anybody have one and if so, how do you like it? would it be unnecessary or overkill for a bike that is cheifly used to toy around on... im no lance armstrong, no 40 50 60 70 mile rides for me... is there something else you would recomend? these things really are as great as everyone says they are, right?
thanks a lot everyone
