Mostly Brooks, original Pro, Team Pro, B17 and just recently a Swift. But I also ride Ideale 80, 90 and 87 (on French or Swiss bikes, of course). One Ideale 2002 on a Bertin. On my track bikes I use Concors and on my Bianchi Pista a Selle Italia Turbo in matching Celeste. Many people say they can tell a big difference between Brooks and Ideale, but they feel the same to me. I like them both. My wife rides exclusively Avocet women's models or Terry.
