Interesting to see that the proofhide treatment is not the quickest route to saddle nirvana - I've just invested in some Neatsfoot oil. I'll see if that does the trick.

There is a good article on leather saddles <a href="http://www.sheldonbrown.com/leather.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> in the meantime make sure the height of your saddle is correct. This can sometimes be a bit approximate when you unfold but it does make sense to work out exactly how far you need to pull-out the seat post. I know it took me a bit of time to get this right and riding too high with the Brooks was uncomfortable. As for the 2k thing - just think of that as the toxic period before you are fully warmed up Good luck I have a leather saddle on my Brompton and like everyone else I will tell you they are perfect for the bike, once they are worn in.

Get a NEW SADDLE... I have a specialized ladies Jett thingy... honestly it did more then safe my bacon I can tell you... although pins and needles does sound a bit horrid (mine was more like excruciating pain of the nether regions and a day or two of bruising).... Goodluck with the MRI, much better then having an internal! ;o) Now really I shouldn’t have laughed at your misfortune but you did pen that rather well…..
