Long time Brooks rider who is going to ride the Toupe 155 in the spring. Been doing some trial fits with it and it feels pretty good.
I believe set up is key as well in my brief experimenting. Nose up just a shade seems to work best for comfort thus far. Will report back when I get more time on it. I have been searching...not hard, but looking for a suitable saddle replacement to the Brooks which to me is never comfortable in the drops. I can rotate my hips more forward on the Toupe with cut out and feel much less pressure. The question will be ultimately how well my sit bones can take it.
PS: I hear good things about the Romin as well. Also, I understand there is an acclimation period for the flexible Toupe. The seat will conform a bit to the rider over time and of course with more riding, the bottom of a rider toughens as well as many experience some pain in the spring even riding the same saddle that worked fine in the fall after a season of riding.
