Just thought I would throw this out there b/c i know a lot of FG riders are interested in this saddle. Try it before you buy it b/c I found it to be really painful while riding in an aggressive position.
If you still want leather, go with Selle An-Atomica. My Brooks Swift and B17CS are gathering dust
for reasons similar to yours, minus the pee pain.
