I'm 6' tall, 250'ish lbs, riding a Fuji touring bike. The stock Fuji seat is what I've been using for years - a fancy foam seat with a split down the center for your parts. After riding for 20 miles or so, that seat got to be very uncomfortable no matter what I wore. Things would bunch up and start chafing and it would be fairly unpleasant.
Once I put the new Brooks Saddle on, everything changed. First, let me reiterate what other people have said about this seat - it is not something you just toss on there and instantly life is perfect. My stock seat post was not tilt adjustable so I bought a new Thompson seat post. It works perfectly, allowing me to make very minute adjustments to the tilt and seat positioning.
I made the mistake of popping the new seat on and going for a 16 mile ride. It was quite comfortable compared to my old seat - then I could barely walk, let alone ride, for three days. Turns out I had it positioned just a bit too high and was unconsciously sliding side to side a little bit each time I turned the crank. After lowering the seat I found I kept sliding forward and fighting to keep myself in the proper position - small readjustments in the tilt fixed that. I'm pretty sure at this point I have it all dialed in where it needs to be but I still bring my wrench along just in case I want to make a little tweak.
So, was it worth it?
Every penny and more. It's not broken in yet but it's already WAY more comfortable than my stock seat. I've also found it's made me faster - I'm seated properly now and can feel when something is not right. Instead of a foam seat squishing out of the way to compensate for poor riding position my seat now helps me keep in line. When everything lines up and you get it right, it is a very very nice thing.
If you are reading this then you are already contemplating a new seat. This one is worth the money and worth the effort getting it positioned properly.
Bring your allen wrench when you get it installed, keep your first several rides somewhat shorter until you get yours right, and you will be happy with this purchase.
