Are there any cheaper alternatives to a Brooks? For my girlfriend, want something that looks nice in a lady's-town-bike sort of way but don't want to invest too much money in something that may not get ridden very much and will probably end up living outside. I also don't have the bike in my possession and haven't measured my girlfriend's sit bones (...) so I have no idea how wide it needs to be, which is why I think something like a Brooks (that breaks in) would work well.
Looks good, review says it'll take 800km to break in though... now wondering if it's a bit sadistic to buy her a saddle that's going to be painful for that long! I'll have to think about it
