Sobdeall Swallow any thoughts anyone ?
Pretty much as the the title, I've been considering a San Marco Rolls or a SMP TRK, now I've found the Sobdeall.
The Sobdeall looks nice, but is heavier, which one should I go for ?

Whichever fits your bottom better. In leather saddles as in leather shoes, fit and comfort trump all other considerations.

The SMP TRK offers a more technological solution - that may or may not be superior to the Rolls and the Sobdeal looks very classic - it also looks very narrow and I've no idea if it's as good as Brooks.....

It's your Butt you have to satisfy.. I have a SM Rolls on my Roadie bike,
kind of like a synthetic composite Brooks Pro shape, nylon, high density foam
and a thin leather skin.
Got a Ride and return if it doesn't feel right seller?

Then, as they say; "you pays your money and takes your chances". Saddles are, by far, the most subjective of all bicycle components. Every tush is different and what I like, you may hate.
