I've got a Brooks leather saddle (B 16) on my road bike and I love it, but I don't want something that expensive--particularly that recognizably expensive--on a bike with such an easily-removable seatpost. Replacing the quick-release levers on the seatpost isn't an option, since that's how the bike folds. Is there anything else out there that's similar in form and function to the Brooks but maybe doesn't scream "Steal me!" quite so loudly? Or any other great women's saddles I should look into?
Buy your Brooks used from E-bay so it will be beat up and not so tempting to a thief.
