Price

I'm impressed and thankful as this is expensive purchase

I am 100% convinced the saddle was worth the money.

Like the color but find it expensive

A sore butt was always the price i paid for long bicycle ride.

Shipping

It was delivered very fast as well.

Fyi : amazon does a great job shipping and handling of all my purchases to date !

Packaging/appearance

It came nicely packaged with a small pocket of proofide lotion, just enough to apply the first time.

Looks wonderful on my btwin 500, highly recommended.

I treated it to a slathering of atsko sno-seal when i got it and have done nothing to it since.

Came with all the accoutrements—wrench, proofide, box.

Competitiveness

Astonishing how much difference the brooks brand is to other brands.

It is obviously time tested and in comparison to other models out there i think while a little pricey is a great value.

I tried a lot of different saddles, some better than others, but still.
