I think Jobst Brandt called Brooks saddles "leather ass hatchets". I was never able to come to terms with my Brooks, and I nearly gave up on uprights entirely until I tried WTB saddles. I ended up with a WTB saddle on each of my upright bikes. My collection is down to 2 recumbents and 2 uprights- time to start shopping around again.
Opinions about bike seats are like butts- everybody's got one.
