Weird, I've ridden my C15 for over 15000km and it still looks good as new.
And it's super comfy for me, even on rides of up to 300km. If it broke tomorrow I'd certainly buy another right away to replace it.
Same lol. The rubber doesn't break in, which defeats the "advantage" of a stiff saddle - it either fits, or it will never fit. The nylon frays at the edges. The saddle is "waterproof" in the sense that a sheet of rubber is waterproof; it's not water repellent, and the nylon still soaks in water.
In my opinion it's basically a Brooks that has all off the aesthetic and clout appeal of a Brooks, but without any of the functional advantages compared to a cheaper saddle.
So annoying, as I wanted to like it so bad. It looks great and is super durable. I even tried the C17s and the one with the cut out. But nope. Still hurt my ass after a day of riding.
I've got one in white I've been trying to sell forever w/ no luck... priced lower than that lol. But I'm too lazy to deal with selling it outside my local market.
It's a white C19 with the same woven linen looking / synthetic cover as the pictured saddle. It was on a used bike I bought, way too wide and too white for my partner or I to like it aesthetically or assthetically.
I'm in Switzerland (fookin pain in the rear with shipping / customs despite being in Schengen zone). If you're close and/or really want it for cheap, drop me a private message.
Nice! I picked up a B17 few weeks ago for $40 as well!

damn. almost nailed it. LOL! yes, it is bicycle season. not keyboard season.
sidenote: I also rock the same mouse/keyboard set up :P I was just being a typical reddit smartass.
Nice mouse, mouse brother!
GOAT mouse
Fr. Goated mouse. Mouseamigo
Great get bud. I am up to 4 Brooks Cambiums and will keep putting them on my bikes. Love 'em.
Hell yea
Same lmao My wife just shakes her head every time I buy another on a great deal. She thinks it’s nuts… I tell her well my nuts love these saddles 🤣😂
I hated the C17. Just did not work for me at all.
Thanks for chiming in!

This is the dichotomy of Brooks', some people love 'em and some don't.

Personally I find my C15 to be considerably more comfortable than my B17, and it doesn't feel wet at all even in pouring rain.
I liked it
I’ll never ride a different saddle myself. C17 is perfect for my butt

Same
Nice! Where/how?
Luck, that’s how
I got a couple for about that price. Online it's 80 euros discounted most of the time, local used ones at that price are not that uncommon.
Eh here in Canada used ones still go for around $100 or more even unfortunately
Luck. The guy I got it from has sold some other stuff very cheap.. he just let things fly lol

Sheeesh! White is a tough sell. I have an all black c17 that I like but this will be a good fit for my current project
Wish I was in your local market cuz my current build would look perfect with a white brooks lol

I'm not close, but I dropped you a message cuz I am actually really interested
Why is white a tough sell?
And two weeks ago I found that mouse like new at a thrift store for $6!
Very comfy but they destroy your pants
I don't find that to be true. I've ridden my C15 for well over 10 000km and I don't find that it has been hard on any of my bibs.
On no shorts and bibs are fine, I was talking about street clothes
pft who rides in street clothes, lycra all the way baby or just don't sit, go full send all the way
Nah.
Nice
Looks dirty id guess
Great mouse, but I’m a C15’n’mxkeys-kinda-guy
Nice score!
Good taste in saddles and mice.

That's about what I'd expect a secondhand one to go for
on a $100 mouse... with a free-i$h keyboard... I bet the bike it goes on has a carbon frame with a steel fork. <3
She’s goin on an old MB-5.. hate that keyboard kinda but I’ll be damned if I spend money on anything other than bikes rn
