As a lighter rider it took absolutely forEVER to break mine in. But it’s pretty nice now. Would not recommend it to a smaller rider who isn’t planning on putting in tons of miles.

Arguably Billy Bonkers is budget gear that overdelivers, whereas Brooks is just expensive premium gear.

I have been riding the same brooks b17 for 15 years. I have swapped it a few times over the years reconfiguring different bikes but always seem to go back to it. I couldnt even begin to estimate how many miles it has seen. Its incredibly comfortable. My 2¢

Billiam Bonkers is a great name. I really like my Brooks B17 Cambium. I want to try the Swallow.
