Nigel Heels

Guest
I am in the market for a new saddle... Now what should criteria be when purchasing this? obviously
it has to be comfortable on the tush, but what else am I looking for in a road bike seat.
 
Nigel should go for Nogel, and give narrow a clean pair of Heels! Leather's the chap for old Nigel,
Cos on it his totty good feels...

Anyone inprove on this?

Ok, how 'bout......

Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks,

No I don't work for 'em and I'm not on commission. I just have a really cute Brooks shaped bum and
if Nigel has too, then I can't recommend anything else ;-) Dave.

No claims about cuteness, but I also find them more comfortable than anything else I've tried when
they're worn in, and still more comfortable than most things even new out of the box. A Brooks is
definitely worth a try unless you have issues with leather goods, you're paranoid about every last
microgramme, or you already have a recumbent.

No guarantees they'll work for a particular individual, but OTOH you can say the same about *any*
saddle. Given they're usually sold separately to the bikes they're on, they're heavy and require a
little more care, there must be some reason for their enduring popularity and sales with Serious
Cyclists(tm).
