Hi Rene, I got a pre-aged brooks on a Raliegh "One- Way" bike. I had tried unsuccessfully to break in a conventional b-17. I was skeptical of that the pre-aged version would make a difference. However, it was instantly comfortable. I don't know how it will hold up. I have a lot of bikes, so I don't know whether I will ride this frequently enough to really test it. Most of my road bikes have the terry liberator saddle, which is ok for both upright riding, and for going into the drops.
Cheers!
