A God-send. Our tandem had a wheel wobbling and it was diagnosed as some broken spokes. The fix was extremely reasonable. The advice to invest in a stronger wheel frame well taken in. Love the English accent! We saw a flat tire come in while we were there. Talked to a man from Jefferson City who rides every weekend day from there to Hartsburg. He's put in 11,000 in 9 years! He recommends Brooks saddles for your bike (the sell them at Cycle Depot)...they are made in England. He said he wouldn't ride another.

They had some very stylish biking attire which I coveted, but we settled for a Cycle Depot shirt and a couple of DELICIOUS smooties. Banana and strawberry I believe. You will love these owners. Sweeties...both.

I rode a Peugeot years ago that I put a Brooks leather saddle on. It was quite comfortable after that million mile break-in period. It was a good saddle with a custom fit, but my modern day synthetic saddle seems to fit nicely without the leather break-in time.

I have always wanted a Brooks saddle, but that million mile break in period has been a
deterrent for me as well... I love my Terry butterfly saddle that I have on both my mountain
bike and my road bike. It fits me well and is quite comfy.

I use a Brooks B17 on my Katy bike and can't believe how well it works, much better than numerous Fizik and others that I have tried. No bike saddle is "comfortable" per se but this one seems to make more posteriors less unhappy than most others that is, if you talk to full-time tourers, bike shop owners such as Mark and check out the reviews on Mountainbike.com review:

The thing looks so uncomfortable but seems to mold to it's master over time without the need for gels etc. but of course no saddle is for everyone.

That place was the greatest. Great people. My daughters loved the rootbeer floats. Great conversationalists with great stories also.
Also, a great place to eat next door.

Can't beat the smoothies at Hartsburg either. They are so refreshing after being out on the
trail and they are all fruit and fruit juice which I appreciate.
