New Saddle
I was quite impressed with my saddle, but after ripping the back open in a wreck I decided I needed a new one...so it finally came today.

But if you got the cash, why not?
How about a review on the seat?

The saddle overall is VERY comfortable for me. It's not too big, it supports me well and has enough cushion to keep me comfy without looking like a grandpa seat. As far as rip....this is the rip I was referring to.

you've never heard that one before? I guess it must be confined to use in the south.

I need a new saddle but Im out of money! The "nose" is all torn up from wheelies and the foam is coming out. The staples on the inside ripped up a pair of pants too

My wallet is made entirely of duct tape. 
Also, ask around at the local LBS, since they probably have TONS of stock saddles they let go for 10-15 bucks. I got a super-comfortable Bontrager saddle for 10 bucks. Apart from a Brookes, I really don't know why people spend 100+ on plastic and foam anyway.
