Subject: [CR]Lopsided Brooks Saddle--Bicycle Quarterly

I got my latest issue of Jan Heine's Bicycle Quarterly this week. There is an interesting review of the new Brooks titanium Team Professional saddle that shows how it has become lopsided after a short period of break-in. I looked closely and it isn't the rails. It appears to be the leather itself. Jan's review doesn't seem too concerned about this, but I've recently installed a Brooks saddle on one of my bikes and not having had a lot of experience with them, I wonder if this is a common malady. I'm not a lightweight guy like Jan, so I would guess that my chances of having this happen would be increased. The picture is on page 43 in case you have your copy handy. Otherwise, another nice issue. Thanks Jan. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
