i just got a brand-new Berthoud Aspin saddle a few weeks ago. It took about 300 miles or so to break in, and now I looooove it! I've owned a lot of Brooks saddles before, B-17, Swift, and Team Pro, but the Berthoud has so far shown to be superior in comfort and build quality.

sorry yours didn't work out. i generally avoid buying used leather saddles after I had an old Brooks rip in half on me after a few days of riding.
