every time i see this bike, i feel like im about to have a heart attack.
i finally got around to reading some of your blog and took the time to read "The main reason why I have what I have..." back from 2007, and i am super super jealous of you. stumbling on a find like that is something we only dream of. that is why i believe you are the luckiest cyclist ever.

IMHO, the saddle doesn't really suit the bike. I would go with with a Turbo or Concor

I Agree, the brooks isn't doing it for me, but I don't think a turbo or Concor would work well with the zipps. Maybe a modern saddle? Prologo, slr, maybe even an OG Flite.

This bike has yet to be beaten. I would have a hard time taking it out of the stable.
