No pics sorry, but some advice..

I just got some snoseal and applied it to my brooks Ti swift and it properly waterproofs it as the proofide or anything else I have tried dosen't so its always in a bag! I got the larger jar version from the USA of amazon for about £12 was here with in the week. I can't recommend this stuff enough.

It was comfy "out of the box" and has just got better as it's worn in.

Another Sno-Seal fan here.

B17 on my mountain bike. Needs a lot of proofhide and polish, but I ride it in all weathers and let the leather dry out.

SS Shep - not normally a fan of drops on a MTB, but that is a handsome bike.

I like how they are still UK made. I personally prefer saddles with a pudendal/perineum cut out, though not all of these I like. The first minkow Specialized BG saddles were great. Later models not as much so. Terry's Liberty was also ok though the original and cheapest Specialized 175mm wide BG was better.

I'd like to see Brooks do a sit (sitz) bones perch/cut out type saddle...

The latest Specialized Romin shape - is really good - wider cut out than some of the previous models

Pretty good when I first got it, ultra comfy now. 120+ miler a little while back and my bum felt fine afterwards
