I have a Swallow Select that I purchased for a song on another forum.
Fellow that I bought it from rode it for 300 miles and decided it was too stiff.
Brooks advertises this saddle as a "high mileage" saddle.
Certainly stiffer than my Swifts.
I'll probably use the Swallow Select on my Walter Croll project.
Btw I have been nothing but thrilled with the Swifts I purchased three years ago.
Super comfy on all day rides.
