I can't complain about my b17 special and my select model, but my basic black standard brooks b17 didn't hold up as well as they are. The leather is noticeably thicker on the special and select and I haven't come across any squeaking or need to adjust the bolt like I have on the standard. Still, I ride the standard fine, but the leather is thinner.
An alternative to brooks that I have been recently made aware of is Spa Cycles saddles. http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s204p0 I have been told that the leather and quality of construction is first rate. I don't have personal experience with them though. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
