By the way, it was comfortable right from the start this morning. Really think it will get better with age and time in the saddle.
That's encouraging. I did try a brooks B-17 due to all the comments on this board but it gave too much numbness when the saddle wasn't pointed downwards - and riding in the drops was completely uncomfortable. My 2 bikes now currently have 2 different specialized saddles, and if those ever wear out maybe I'll try the imperial.
