Saddle Up

It's here! It's Here! IT'S HERE!

My Brooks B68s Classic (black) saddle came in the post today. And it is a beaut.

Upon unwrapping it from the sophisticated packaging I dressed it with LEXOL-Neatsfoot leather dressing- designed for today's vegetable tanned leather, which is how this hide was tanned.

I eagerly retrieved my tools to replace the vinyl saddle with my new prize leather saddle to find that somebody had used them without replacing them, ugh.
So for now I can only admire it on my desk as I fantasize about how nicely it will shape to my body & cool in hot weather.

Review to follow...

Filling A Void

I have been searching the interwebs for information about going car-less with young children since the baby was born... two years ago. There is some great information out there when you dig , I thought I would add my two cents as I take the plunge into carless motherhood.

I bought a five year old Specialized Lady Hard Rock Pro off craigslist.org with the intention to transform it to a human powered mini-van. I will document my progress here and I hope other MoBsters will chime in with advice and comments.
