<p>Thanks everybody for all the helpful comments. I really love The Chainlink! I am going to try a Brooks 17 Standard Edition in Honey to match my bar tape. Very excited about getting into touring. Now I just need some fenders and a tubus rack!</p>

I've been using Brooks saddles for quite awhile. Currently I'm riding on a Brooks Swallow. I probably have close to 15,000 miles on this saddle. Touring, ultra-marathon endurance riding, commuting and just popping around town is the type of riding I do. I've never had a problem with this saddle. If you're bicycle is properly fit and sized you shouldn't have a problem either. Though, it is true, it's up to each individual, the bike they're riding, and the type of riding they do.

<p>I like the "Flyer" style saddle, with the springs. Just nice to have a something there to suck up a big bump you might not see...</p>

I tour myself, but I use road saddles. I have never been comfortable on a Brooks, in fact I think they're horrible. I love the Aliante and Rolls, personally.<br />
