I'll try to post some tomorrow. But...I may have royally jinxed myself by talking about it. Sort of perfect timing. This past week, the left side of the saddle has begun to bend lower than the right, despite the lacing. It's not really a sag: more like the whole side is starting to bend at an angle from center. It's definitely enough to make me feel unbalanced, and will likely get worse. So, I got a couple of years out of the lace job, but I wouldn't get the VO saddle again (or any of the generic clones...it's amazing how many companies just rebrand the same things). I bit the bullet and just placed an order for a Brooks Swift.

FYI: I ordered from Retrogression and the Swift was about $60 cheaper than elsewhere. Thanks be to Scrod!
