  • Has the Brooks been proofided and worn in? Can take upto 1000 miles of use innit.... (my GF is going through this pain stage too (: )

    The problem is, as said, that the bike is only used for little weekend trips and that's it. Will never wear in that way.

    I had feedback from a female friend that a Rolls was very uncomfortable due to the shape of the nose, which protudes up a bit like a ridge length ways (not sure how to describe)...

    Ah ok that's interesting, then I can skip that Rolls, too.

    You could always try a Charge bucket, if you can face putting a Charge product on her bike. Not ridden one but they look pretty squishy.

    Won't do I guess (not 'classic' enough)

    If you have already gone though a scoble-amount of saddles, you could instead experiment with with stem length. Due to the relaxed position of the bike, more of your GF's weight will be over the saddle. A longer stem should mean that less weight is over the saddle.

    I know that, but as you can imagine she wants the other way round (lower seatpost and more upright position). I guess she will have to face the fact that there is no way around a wider saddle
