How do they compare? Is a Regal more simlar in feel to a rounded Turbo or a flatter saddle, like a Nitrox or Cannondale Coda. I like Turbos, don't get along with Nitrox or Coda (flat and HARD).
I just picked up a Brooks Swift but have yet to try it. They look rock hard.....but once i held the swift (ti rails) the weight was fine. Not a weight weenie, of course, but not a total anvil like the other brooksies.
I have tried the Regal and the Rolls (not the Turbo).
They are both very comfortable.
The Regal has less padding and is more curved. Also, the Regal has a broader less curved ridge, which is nice if you like to run your saddle high.
The Rolls is flat and a little more padded the ridge is a littel higher and narrower.
I prefer the Regal to the Rolls.
I have also rode a brooks team pro for about 6 months and much prefer either of the san marco saddles.
