It really is a great saddle for a fast tourer-I find the B17 a bit frumpy!!TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38442282.post-29452301158856563382009-05-17T06:09:00.000-07:002009-05-17T06:09:00.000-07:00Thanks very much for that.

The Kona Jake hasn't turned up, so it looks like it will be the Dawes (which I'm happy with)<br /><br />I've looked at Brooks saddles in the past, just because they look so nice :-) Are there any particular models you'd recommend?matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194855106588372050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38442282.post-25024793005375818432009-05-15T13:42:00.000-07:002009-05-15T13:42:00.000-07:00Both bikes you are left with are good for your pur...Both bikes you are left with are good for your purpose. I will be interested to see which one you finally choose. The one thing I would do for ultra long distances is fit a 'Brooks'.TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.com
