The 'Dobson' Sit-Up-On. (Updated)

Much as my behind loves the enormous bouncy Lepper saddle I fitted to the 'Dobson' it must be said/has been pointed out that it is very heavy (approx 2.2 Kg).

I decided to invest, and invest is the correct word, in a Brooks B17 saddle.
It's as hard as a rock and just about perfect.
During a short test ride I noticed that all the squeaks and creaks have disappeared and the whole machine has a more 'positive' feel about it.

In my opinion it's improved the look of the bike no end.


 Now all I have to do is ride it for about 20,000 miles and it should begin to 'break-in' nicely.

Update:

Having ridden around 12 miles on the new saddle it has become obvious to me that I'm going to have to reinforce my gusset.
