Strengths:
It's a Brooks...'nuff said
Weaknesses:
None. Period.
Bottom Line:
Since they didn't print my first review, I reckon I'll tone it down a bit.
You want comfort? Get a Brooks. Chamois is for sissies. Put a few hundred miles on one of these, and you'll never settle for anything else. So what if it's heavy...don't be a weight-weenie!
I'm ditching the WTB Speed V that came on my new mtb I got last night for a vintage NOS B5N. My butt won't rest on anything but a Brooks.

Bottom Line:
The bottom line is right! when everyone else I am training with is complaining about sore butts, I am doing just dandy. Some of my training partners get rashs from sitting on their bikes. Never had one. I have ridden far enough (70 miles in one day to date) to have miserably sore legs arms and hands. The seat is perfect. Never a problem. For 15 years people have been teasing me about it, but in the last two I have noticed that the tricked out riders are starting to buy.. brooks saddles!
