Silly question...

Submitted by stinky pete on 02/16/2009.

I’m going to ask a silly question, so don’t take it wrong, OK?

Doesn’t that seat feel like riding a thong? Not that I would know mind you. I have just suffered from seat induced numbness for years now without finding the right seat. I’d say that one isn’t for me…

Anyways, I really DO like your bike, something about those full size wheels being so small and all, just too cool…!

Saddle

Even though it looks really uncomfortable, Brooks Swallow is surprisingly on the comfortable side. Since this B17 is cropped to look like a Swallow, it should have a similar ride. The fact with the leather is, it gets more and more comfortable after some use, takes the shape of the rider's butt.
