Well, my Gyes saddles showed up in the mail yesterday. The b67 clone looked nicer than I expected. The leather on both of them looks pretty uniform. I'm not sure I like the texture on the b67 clone, but it was pictured so I knew it was going to be that way. The swallow clone with the cut out doesn't appear to have quite as thick of leather and the cut out is pretty large for the narrow saddle so the leather does have a bit more flex than I'd like around the cut out area, which is something I worried about when I bought it. Don't know if that'll affect the life span of the saddle or not, but it's definitely something I'm going to keep my eye one. Overall, I'm satisfied with the way they look. Will report back when they're actually on the bikes and have been ridden a bit.
