Ditto that. The Sequioa was a great bike, well worth that price.

FWIW, I've become smitten with the unsprung, wider city saddles from
Brooks--specifically the B68 in smooth or pre-aged leather. I'm
finding that I really like that wider flat platform in the back of the

Might try it on a Nitto rack for my Atlantis. That way could put the
R-14 sitting around to good use. Otherwise might try the small p-
clamp option.
Shameless self promo -- I'm in Bay Area and have an '07 59cm Bianchi
Eros frame. $100 -- I haven't listed it on Craigslist because I've
been too busy. I think I have a carbon fork that works with it too, if
you're interested.

Hey William,
If you can swing it, I'd go for an AHH. It's perfect for the riding
you describe. $3200 might seem a bit steep up front, but if you plan
on riding this daily for years, $3200 is a killer deal. There is
something to be said for a comfortable frame w/ useful braze-ons and
clearances

I have B17s on all my road bikes (except a swift on my old crit bike),
and Champion Flyers on my upright 3speed and not-upright mountain
bike, so obviously I am in the Brooks camp. I have found the Champion
Flyer to work good offroad, absorbing some portion of jolts but not
being noticably boingy.
Thanks for all your feedback. Definitely some helpful anecdotes in
there. Brooks offers such a variety of sprung saddles (single/double/
triple rails, different coils in different positions, a few different
seat widths/lengths) I guess I am looking for your personal
experiences with any of them,

These wheels are a QBP product that are being sold at a slim margin.
The Twin Hollow is a single-wall rim, which leaves a lot to be desired
in my opinion. Probably ok for lightweight riders who don't ride a
ton.

I have lots of paint so I can try that next time, even if it's a thin

Great job in matching the bag.

It looks very nice! I agree that next time you should add more
charcoal, and spread it around a bit more.
Another idea is to add a little dab of black or dark raw umber artist's
paint to the shellac to darken it a little and tone down the orange
effect. I think the plain amber shel

Indeed. On further review, the size is given as ISO 590. It would be a loose

Glad that I went by the RBW size chart :)

I've not worn padded shorts since switching to Selle Anatomica saddles on both
my RBWs. The Saluki came with a broken in B-17 and that also requires no
padding for a comfortable ride. I like the S-A saddle better, and so put the
Brooks on teh shelf for use later, or as a swap. To break in a new

I have had a Brooks Flyer (looks to be the same size as the B-17) on
my touring bike(s) for several years. It definately does add to the
comfort. I did have to adjust the tension on this saddle more than
the B-17s and add lacing when it started to flare, don't know if that
