Brooks rereleased this old design about 10 years ago cos it was popular with Breezer etc in the early MTB days. So when one popped up on eBay I got v excited, forgetting I have a tiny sparrow butt and that wide saddles are my worst enemy.

Anyway, cool lightly used saddle with the adapter for modern 2 bolt posts. After £65 posted to get back what I paid

How much ass is the right amount of ass to enjoy this saddle? Asking as I have a narrow ass

I’d say a smallish/medium ass or beyond really - I’m as birdboned as they come (178cm but only 67kg when moderately unfit) so I have no idea why I thought this would be a good idea. Brooks has a handy diagram showing the width - note as with all leather saddles they now inwards so the width isn’t comparable to synthetic ones as such

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
