I have a Cardiff Cornwall on my touring bike - and it's been very comfortable. That particular bike only gets ridden when I'm going on longish rides or tours, so it doesn't accumulate the miles that my other ones do - maybe 2500 or so on it now. The saddle is fine, and the darkening appearance is good. The leather is not as thick as an older Brooks, or an older Fujita (I have two of those), and I've had to lace the full skirt to help it keep its firm shape.

It's been posted in an earlier thread, that the spot welds that connect the back tip of the rails to the underside of the saddle support frame...well, the welds break free. Usually on the right rail, from the two who posted and described theirs. I reattached mine with JB Weld - looks pretty amateurish, but it works fine. Don't lift the bike by the Cornwall saddle frame, though, as this joint is manufactured poorly.

Overall, I'd rate this saddle as satisfactory. Not great, but it looks good and it supports me well (I only weigh 172 lbs and ride "lightly"). The fit works fine for me, and when I climb on the touring bike for a long ride (after having been off of it for a month or so), I invariably think that "this bike is comfy. I wonder why I don't ride it every day." So the saddle contributes in part to this. PG
