Forgot - I'm thinking of a Brooks Cambium C15 for my CX...
Anyone got one? Experiences?
I have one on my Day-One, chosen because I ride in normal clothes. I find it really comfy but the canvas seems faintly abrasive on my jeans (as I guess you'd expect). In all, I'd say go for it though.Anyone got one? Experiences?

Do you think the abrasiveness would be an issue with lycra?

Cool, cheers.

Not sure. I wouldn't say it's a big issue anyway, just that I've noticed some additional wear to the saddle area of the cheap H&M jeans I wear to the office - I've been using the Brooks for about 600km riding 17km each way to the office and back since September. I think with reasonable Lycra it should be fine.Do you think the abrasiveness would be an issue with lycra?

Is that actually sagging in the middle, under it's own weight?
It looks like a very long bike too, wheelbase wise.
No offence, but that one is very definitely in the 'not for me' pile. Good luck with the build, though. Much like classic cars, it's nice to see older stuff kept nice, whether it's to my taste or not.
